How to delete multiple objects from an S3 bucket using the AWS CLI?

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.
