Hello.
How about emptying the S3 bucket in the following document procedure?
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/empty-bucket.html
Another method is to set S3 lifecycle rules.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/how-to-set-lifecycle-configuration-intro.html
ThankYou, i tried methods mentioned in that link it worked wekk for all buckets but its taking too much time for few large buckets.We are removing this account so want to delete. Please advise if its ok to leave them and these will be erased after account termination.Will there be any charges?
Hi,
You have all details and code to empty a bucket in this post: https://towardsthecloud.com/aws-cli-empty-s3-bucket
It also handles the case where you use object versioning.
Best,
Didier

If you close your account completely, the S3 charges should disappear. Your AWS resources will be deleted after your account is closed. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/accounts/latest/reference/manage-acct-closing.html
ThankYou.If objects are in Millions we need to configure Lifecycle. When S3 bucket has millions of objects,AWS suggest to use S3 lifecycle rules to empty the S3 bucket. AWS console and CLI timeout happens as they are not designed for large scale deletion. ref - > https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/s3-empty-bucket-lifecycle-rule
