aws-s3-rb

Delete an empty S3 bucket

$ aws s3 rb s3://[bucket-name]

$ aws s3 rb s3://[bucket-name] --force

aws s3 rb S3Uri [--force] [options]

aws s3 rb (remove bucket) deletes an S3 bucket. By default, the bucket must be completely empty of objects before it can be deleted.
Use the --force option to automatically delete all non-versioned objects in the bucket before removing the bucket itself. This is a destructive operation that cannot be undone.

S3Uri

The S3 URI of the bucket to delete (s3://bucket-name)

Delete all objects in the bucket before deleting the bucket itself

The --force option only deletes non-versioned objects. If the bucket contains versioned objects or delete markers, the bucket deletion will fail even with --force. For buckets with versioning enabled, use aws s3api delete-object with --version-id to remove all object versions first, or configure a lifecycle policy to expire versions. Bucket deletion is permanent and the bucket name becomes available for others to use.
