Delete marker not available when i delete object in a versioned bucket

Question

I uploaded multiple versions of the same object to my versioning enabled bucket. When i delete the standalone object without adding additional versions, i can see the delete marker.
 but when i delete the one of the versions or the current version, i am not able to see the delete marker. I used the toggle button (versions) still no delete marker is seen.

My question is- does deletion of versions of an object create a delete marker? or is delete marker only valid for a single object without additional versions.

Pl guide me
Thank u

Deleting an object version explicitly and permanently deletes that object version. A delete marker is not created.

When you access an object in S3, you can do so without specifying an object version (see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_GetObject.html#AmazonS3-GetObject-request-querystring-VersionId).  If an object does not exist, a 404 will be returned.  That will also be returned if a delete marker is the most recent "version" of an object.  This allows the non-current object versions to continue to exist, while still returning results consistent with a deletion.

There would be no role for a delete marker for a object version, as the object version is permanently deleted, and any attempt to explicitly access it by it's versionId would return a 404.
