Can't Turn Off Glacier Service

Question

I have been trying to stop the billing on my credit card of backups I no longer need. I have been trying to follow the instructions here: https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/terminate-resources-account-closure to no avail. I never see any option to cancel the service. I do see my buckets but no option to cancel the service. I don't want to close the account, just stop being charged for Glacier.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You will need to delete your S3 Glacier Vault. Please follow this instructions: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonglacier/latest/dev/deleting-vaults-console.html . Before deleting a vault, you must delete all existing archives within the vault. You can't do this in the console,  you need writing code to make a delete archive request by using either the REST API, the AWS SDK for Java, the AWS SDK for .NET, or by using the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI). Please follow this: https://gist.github.com/veuncent/ac21ae8131f24d3971a621fac0d95be5
