Examples¶
The following rm command deletes a single s3 object:
aws s3 rm s3://mybucket/test2.txt
Output:
delete: s3://mybucket/test2.txt
The following rm command recursively deletes all objects under a specified bucket and prefix when passed with the
parameter --recursive. In this example, the bucket mybucket contains the objects test1.txt and
test2.txt:
aws s3 rm s3://mybucket --recursive
Output:
delete: s3://mybucket/test1.txt
delete: s3://mybucket/test2.txt
The following rm command recursively deletes all objects under a specified bucket and prefix when passed with the
parameter --recursive while excluding some objects by using an --exclude parameter. In this example, the bucket
mybucket has the objects test1.txt and test2.jpg:
aws s3 rm s3://mybucket/ --recursive --exclude "*.jpg"
Output:
delete: s3://mybucket/test1.txt
The following rm command recursively deletes all objects under a specified bucket and prefix when passed with the
parameter --recursive while excluding all objects under a particular prefix by using an --exclude parameter. In
this example, the bucket mybucket has the objects test1.txt and another/test.txt:
aws s3 rm s3://mybucket/ --recursive --exclude "another/*"
Output:
delete: s3://mybucket/test1.txt
Deleting an object from an S3 access point
The following rm command deletes a single object (mykey) from the access point (myaccesspoint):
aws s3 rm s3://arn:aws:s3:us-west-2:123456789012:accesspoint/myaccesspoint/mykey
Output:
delete: s3://arn:aws:s3:us-west-2:123456789012:accesspoint/myaccesspoint/mykey
