S3 buckets without region

Question

Somehow the following S3 buckets were created in the AWS account without a region and we cannot delete them or view them

![S3-Buckets](/media/postImages/original/IMaicm3OtdTj2I7mAOsH3xFg)

We can also see them on the CLI doing 
```
aws s3 ls
```
but trying to delete them we get the following

```
aws s3 rb s3://manccs-sanda-xxxxxxxx
remove_bucket failed: s3://manccs-sanda-xxxxxxxx An error occurred (NoSuchBucket) when calling the DeleteBucket operation: The specified bucket does not exist
```
Doing this as Account admin and have even tried using the root user but same result. How do we get rid of these buckets ?

Note same issue as [this](https://repost.aws/questions/QUQrSwX2PNSQKDb-y9MTibtA/i-find-a-bucket-without-aws-region-in-my-s-3-but-i-cannot-delete-it) but no answer

Answer

Hi There

Have the buckets been deleted already?  See this KB article that might explain the behavior

Answer

I have the exact same issue, I currently have 568 buckets without region and several months old, and I'm unable to delete them.
How do we get rid of these buckets?
