Deleting a Bucket

You can delete an empty bucket that you created and that you no longer need.

Deleting a Bucket Using AWS CLI

Before you begin:

Delete all the objects contained in your bucket. For more information, see Removing Objects from a Bucket.
Ensure that no multipart upload is in progress in the bucket. For more information, see Listing the Multipart Uploads of a Bucket.

To delete a bucket, use the delete-bucket command following this syntax:

Request sample

$ aws s3api delete-bucket \
    --profile YOUR_PROFILE \
    --bucket BUCKET \
    --endpoint https://oos.eu-west-2.outscale.com

This command contains the following attributes that you need to specify:

(optional) profile: The named profile you want to use, created when configuring AWS CLI. For more information, see Installing and Configuring AWS CLI.
bucket: The name of the bucket you want to delete.
endpoint: The endpoint corresponding to the Region you want to send the request to.

The bucket is deleted.

You can also perform this action using an s3 command following this syntax:

$ aws s3 rb --profile YOUR_PROFILE s3://YOUR_BUCKET --endpoint https://oos.eu-west-2.outscale.com

You can also manage your object storage resources using s3cmd commands. For more information, see s3cmd.
