How to delete empty S3 bucket which generated by Elastic Beanstalk?

Question

In my console, I see an empty S3 bucket created by AWS Elastic Beanstalk.

Its name is 'elasticbeanstalk-ap-northeast-1-xxxxxxx'.

I already removed my Elastic Beanstalk project, however the S3 bucket still remains and I can't delete it.

Is there any way to delete it?

Answer 1

Go to S3 Management Console. Check the properties of elastic-beanstalk bucket. Under Permissions, edit bucket policy and remove all the entries and then save. Now give Delete.

Answer 2

Normally Elastic Beanstalk explicitly denies the DeleteBucket action. You can change this to Allow and then it should work.

    {         "Sid": "YOUR EB SID",         "Effect": "Allow",         "Principal": {             "AWS": "*"         },         "Action": "s3:DeleteBucket",         "Resource": "YOUR EN ARN"     }
