AWS CLI delete S3 non-empty bucket

Question

I am trying to delete an Amazon S3 bucket that is not empty.

this docs says I can delete using the following command

$ aws s3 rb s3://bucket-name --force  

and to delete non empty I need to add --force flag which is not working.

Here is my command to delete the bucket, any clue why force flag wont work?

aws s3 rb s3://<bucket_name> --force --profile <profile_name>

Update:

I have tried following docs to empty the bucket but I don't see any output in the console:

$ aws s3 rm s3://bucket-name --recursive

Answer 1

You may try first to empty the bucket recursivelly and then delete it using rb command.

aws s3 rm s3://bucket-name --recursive
aws s3 rb s3://bucket-name --force
