Unable to delete a glacier vault
I have followed all the instructions as per https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonglacier/latest/dev/getting-started-delete-archive-cli.html to delete a glacier vault However the vault still appears on the console and I am getting the following error
Error deleting vault
Vault not empty or recently written to: arn:aws:glacier:ap-southeast-2:XXXXXXXX:vaults/testvault

There should have been no writes to the vault since the last inventory.
S3 Glacier prepares an inventory for each vault periodically, every 24 hours. Because the inventory might not reflect the latest information, S3 Glacier ensures the vault is indeed empty by checking if there were any write operations since the last vault inventory.
So retry after 24 hours :-)

In my case, there are no writes to the vault. I already tried for 3 days, leaving 24 hours in between, and I keep getting the same errors. Thanks
Also, my problem is deleting archive. It keeps saying Invalid Vault name even though the vault name is correct. Used the exact same code and aws command than I used with other vaults that worked perfectly. Yet on these two vauts I keep getting the error
