Answer

Lifecycle is a great mechanism within S3 to automatically delete files based on certain criteria. You can specify a filter by using object size, object key prefix, one or more object tags, or a combination of filters. 
So one way would be to tag your objects when they are created/uploaded and apply the lifecycle policy.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/intro-lifecycle-rules.html

Another way would be utilize S3 Inventory report. Identify objects that you want to delete and leverage SDKs/API's as show below to submit request for multiple deletes. 
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/delete-multiple-objects.html
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_DeleteObjects.html

You can also use Athena queries to identify the objects from s3 inventory.

Answer

I have Lifecycles enabled, but some bucket which has huge data in terabytes need to be deleted by using particular extension like .json,.csv,.html with 90 days old.

so wondering is there a lambda or some automation to do that before I needed to work on new code
