The accepted answer throws an error when used in typescript, and it is do Objects array in deleteParams. I made it work by modifying the code in the following way. I'm very new to Typescript but at least it is working now.

 async function emptyS3Directory(prefix: string) {
  const listParams = {
    Bucket: "bucketName",
    Prefix: prefix, // ex. path/to/folder
  };

  const listedObjects = await s3.listObjectsV2(listParams).promise();

  if (listedObjects.Contents.length === 0) return;

  const deleteParams = {
    Bucket: bucketName,
    Delete: { Objects: [] as any },
  };

  listedObjects.Contents.forEach((content: any) => {
    deleteParams.Delete.Objects.push({ Key: content.Key });
  });

  await s3.deleteObjects(deleteParams).promise();

  if (listedObjects.IsTruncated) await emptyS3Directory(prefix);
}
