Does video get deleted from S3 when it is deleted it is deleted from website

The behavior of video deletion from S3 when it's deleted from a website depends on how the website and its backend are implemented. There's no automatic connection between deleting content on a website and removing it from S3.

Typically, when a video is deleted from a website, it should trigger a process to also delete the corresponding file from S3 to free up space and manage storage costs. However, this requires the website's backend to be programmed to make an API call to S3 to delete the object.

If the website is properly configured to do so, it will send a DeleteObject request to S3 when a video is deleted from the site. This action would permanently remove the video file from the S3 bucket, freeing up the storage space.

However, if the website is not set up to delete the S3 object when the video is removed from the site, the video file could remain in S3 even after it's no longer accessible through the website. This would result in unnecessary storage costs and potential data management issues.

It's important to note that once an object is deleted from S3, it cannot be recovered unless versioning was enabled on the bucket before the deletion occurred. Therefore, it's crucial to ensure that your deletion process aligns with your data retention and recovery needs.

To confirm whether videos are being deleted from S3 when removed from your website, you would need to check your website's backend implementation or consult with the development team responsible for the site's functionality.
