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.
