I find a bucket without aws region in my s3, but I cannot delete it.

Could you please share a screenshot of S3 console and the delete action?

You can delete a bucket using the Console, CLI or SDK [1]. I recommend to list them before you proceed and see what the output is.

If you can also share the output of the CLI, that might help!

Also, please note bucket configurations have an eventual consistency model. i.e., If you delete a bucket and immediately list all buckets, the deleted bucket might still appear in the list [2]

Bucket-level operations are eventually consistent - it is expected to see this for a while after deleting the bucket, and it should resolve itself within a day. Could you please confirm how long you have seen this? see https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/s3-listing-deleted-bucket

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for your reply.

I am the new user of AWS. Attached are the screenshot of my s3 for your information. When I click Empty or Delete this bucket, it prompts the bucket is not found.

It looks like a zombie. I go through the answers of the old post. Someone said the undeleted folder was deleted finally but did not mention the reason.

Kindly, Eddy

I have the same, which is created by serverless framework. Is there a way to force delete buckets or something?

Same issue here. Here's what I tried (only showing relevant bits of the output):

➜  julian ✗ aws s3 ls

fatal error: An error occurred (NoSuchBucket) when calling the ListObjectsV2 operation: The specified bucket does not exist

If I try to delete it in the AWS console:

the result isn't much better...

I'm encountering the same issue. I refreshed the bucket list in the S3 console; however, the bucket still shows up and cannot be deleted. This issue needs to be resolved, and it is important to clarify the underlying reason.

I have the exact same issue, going on 568 buckets without region and unable to delete.

Please help fix this.

Jonathan, I can confirm that the bucket is now gone. I'm not sure if it was within 24 hours, but it seems to have cleared itself at some point.

It seems like the UX is just poor around this. I would expect buckets that aren't visible by ListObjectsV2 to not show up in that list. Or at least have a "marked for deleted, will disappear soon". Either of those, and this question thread would likely not exist.
