b. Delete S3 Buckets

Deleting S3 buckets

If you delete a bucket, it and its contents are gone forever. If you enabled versioning, those versions are gone, too. As with termination, be absolutely sure you’re ready to delete these resources.

  1. Open the S3 dashboard and select your bucket. In the upper right-hand corner, click Delete.

S3 Management Console

  1. In the dialogue box, type the name of your bucket in the space provided. Note the warnings on the page- when the bucket is deleted, it’s gone forever, and other people have the opportunity to use the bucket name.

  1. Your bucket will no longer show on the S3 menu. Success!
