aws-s3api: Delete a bucket.
$ aws s3api delete-bucket --bucket ${bucket_name}
try on your machine
The command "aws s3api delete-bucket --bucket ${bucket_name}" is used in the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) to delete an empty S3 bucket.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "aws" is the command to initiate AWS CLI.
- "s3api" refers to the S3 API commands in AWS CLI, allowing you to interact with S3 programmatically.
- "delete-bucket" is the specific API command used to delete a bucket.
- "--bucket" is an argument used to specify the name of the bucket you want to delete. "${bucket_name}" is a placeholder representing the actual bucket name. You need to replace "${bucket_name}" with the actual name of the bucket you want to delete.
Note that before deleting a bucket, it needs to be empty. You cannot delete a bucket directly if it contains objects or versions. You must first delete all objects and versions within the bucket before executing this command successfully.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
