Hello,

i have a problem to delete a bucket.

aws s3api list-objects --bucket XXX --profile XXXX --no-verify-ssl --no-verify-ssl --no-cli-pager --output json
{
"RequestCharged": null,
"Prefix": ""
}

aws s3api delete-bucket --bucket XXX --profile XXXX --no-verify-ssl --no-cli-pager --output json

An error occurred (BucketNotEmpty) when calling the DeleteBucket operation: The bucket you tried to delete is not empty.

I also use the button , on gridmanager and i got "the same" error message.

So i dont see any objects here , so what i doing wrong ?

there are probably deleted item versions in the bucket. you can use rclone (rclone purge) for example to delete all objects

So as i understand , aws s3api list-objects --bucket XXX --profile XXXX --no-verify-ssl --no-verify-ssl --no-cli-pager --output json should give me all Objects ?

rclone purge :
