aws-s3-rm: Preview the deletion of a specific S3 object without deleting it (dry-run).
$ aws s3 rm s3://${bucket_name}/${filename} --dryrun
try on your machine

The command "aws s3 rm" is used to remove or delete an object (file) from an Amazon S3 bucket. The specific command you provided is as follows: aws s3 rm s3://${bucket_name}/${filename} --dryrun Here is a breakdown of the command and its components: - aws s3 rm: This is the main command that interacts with the AWS S3 service to remove/delete objects. - s3://${bucket_name}/${filename}: This part specifies the path to the file you want to remove. ${bucket_name} represents the name of the S3 bucket, and ${filename} represents the name of the file or object within the bucket. - --dryrun: This flag is used to simulate the deletion operation without actually removing the file. It allows you to verify whether the command would work as expected without making any actual changes. It's particularly useful for testing the command before running it for real to ensure you are targeting the correct object. Using this command with the --dryrun flag can help you verify the correctness of the command and its effect on your S3 bucket before executing it.
