Find/Delete Glacier archives

Question

I discovered archives must be deleted before vaults can be deleted. Looks like I first have to download vault inventory, then write code to delete archives since they can't be deleted in the console. I can't figure out how to create/download the inventory and I don't code, so I'm at a loss. I'm just a simple home user (fairly technical IT guy, but don't code) who uses Arq for backups and I just want to close my account. Any help is appreciated.

Answer

Hello, here is the overall [documentation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonglacier/latest/dev/getting-started-delete-vault.html). There you will find several different ways to remove what you want. Here are the command line interface instructions, you may find those more useful. [CLI Instructions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonglacier/latest/dev/deleting-an-archive-using-cli.html)
