I have a firebase storage path that looks like this.
firebase.storage().ref('temp/test')
the "test" folder has about 25-50 files. I know there is not a way to delete the whole directory in firebase but Is there a way to iterate through all the files in a directory and deleting them one by one?

Yes, you can use the listAll()
method, as follows:
const storageRef = firebase.storage().ref('temp');
storageRef.listAll().then((listResults) => {
const promises = listResults.items.map((item) => {
return item.delete();
});
Promise.all(promises);
});
Note that:
rules_version = '2';
at the top of the Security Rules).list()
repeatedly until there are no more results. The default pagination size is 1000.
