CloudShell data is scheduled for deletion

Question

Our AWS was set up before I was hired on, and I am still learning the ins and outs. We received an email saying that our AWS Cloudshell data is scheduled for deletion. As far as I know, the cloudshell hasnt been used in quite some time, we mainly are using AWS for S3 buckets.
Will the cloudshell data being deleted effect our S3 buckets in any way?

Accepted Answer

The easiest way to stop your CloudShell data from being deleted - although as @Riku_Kobayashi correctly says, even if it is deleted it won't touch any data already in S3 - is to open it up and use it https://aws.amazon.com/cloudshell/faqs/#Limits_.26_usage

Answer

Hello.

Even if CloudShell data is deleted, the data uploaded to S3 will not be deleted.    
For example, if you have data that has not been uploaded to S3 yet, I think it would be a good idea to sign in with the relevant IAM user, access CloudShell, and then upload it to S3.
