Versioned Bucket Delete All Objects and bucket

Question

If I have a bucket that is versioned.  What CLI command can delete all versions of all objects as well as the bucket?  I ran the aws s3 rm command but it did not delete all versions of the objects.

Thanks

Hello.

You cannot delete versioned bucket objects in bulk using the AWS CLI, so you need to create a shell script as shown below.  
However, while this method works if there are few objects, if there are tens of thousands of objects, I think it is easier to set up lifecycle rules to delete them.  
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/object-lifecycle-mgmt.html  
```
bucket=hoge-bucket && aws s3api list-object-versions --bucket $bucket | jq -r '.Versions[] | [.Key, .VersionId] |@tsv' | while read k v;do aws s3api delete-object --bucket $bucket --key $k --version-id $v; done
```
