How do I delete a versioned bucket in AWS S3 using the CLI?

Question

I have tried both s3cmd:

$ s3cmd -r -f -v del s3://my-versioned-bucket/

And the AWS CLI:

$ aws s3 rm s3://my-v         


        

Answer 1

Using boto3 it's even easier than with the proposed boto solution to delete all object versions in an S3 bucket:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import boto3

s3 = boto3.resource('s3')
bucket = s3.Bucket('your-bucket-name')
bucket.object_versions.all().delete()

Works fine also for very large amounts of object versions, although it might take some time in that case.
