The following ``rm`` command deletes a single s3 object:: aws s3 rm s3://mybucket/test2.txt Output:: delete: s3://mybucket/test2.txt The following ``rm`` command recursively deletes all objects under a specified bucket and prefix when passed with the parameter ``--recursive``. In this example, the bucket ``mybucket`` contains the objects ``test1.txt`` and ``test2.txt``:: aws s3 rm s3://mybucket --recursive Output:: delete: s3://mybucket/test1.txt delete: s3://mybucket/test2.txt The following ``rm`` command recursively deletes all objects under a specified bucket and prefix when passed with the parameter ``--recursive`` while excluding some objects by using an ``--exclude`` parameter. In this example, the bucket ``mybucket`` has the objects ``test1.txt`` and ``test2.jpg``:: aws s3 rm s3://mybucket/ --recursive --exclude "*.jpg" Output:: delete: s3://mybucket/test1.txt The following ``rm`` command recursively deletes all objects under a specified bucket and prefix when passed with the parameter ``--recursive`` while excluding all objects under a particular prefix by using an ``--exclude`` parameter. In this example, the bucket ``mybucket`` has the objects ``test1.txt`` and ``another/test.txt``:: aws s3 rm s3://mybucket/ --recursive --exclude "another/*" Output:: delete: s3://mybucket/test1.txt **Deleting an object from an S3 access point** The following ``rm`` command deletes a single object (``mykey``) from the access point (``myaccesspoint``):: aws s3 rm s3://arn:aws:s3:us-west-2:123456789012:accesspoint/myaccesspoint/mykey Output:: delete: s3://arn:aws:s3:us-west-2:123456789012:accesspoint/myaccesspoint/mykey
