You can delete multiple objects from an S3 bucket using the AWS CLI by running the following command:
aws s3 rm s3://bucket-name/path/to/objects/ --recursive
Replace bucket-name
with the name of your S3 bucket and path/to/objects
with the path to the objects you want to delete. The --recursive
option will delete all objects within the specified path.
Alternatively, you can use a combination of the aws s3 ls
and xargs
commands to delete multiple objects based on a specific pattern. For example, to delete all objects with a specific prefix, you can run the following command:
aws s3 ls s3://bucket-name/path/to/objects/ --recursive | awk '{print $4}' | xargs -I {} aws s3 rm s3://bucket-name/{}
This command lists all objects in the specified path, extracts the object keys (filenames), and then deletes each object one by one using the aws s3 rm
command.
