You can use the Tenant Manager to delete one or more S3 buckets that are empty.
-
You are signed in to the Tenant Manager using a supported web browser.
-
You belong to a user group that has the Manage all buckets or Root access permission. These permissions override the permissions settings in group or bucket policies.
-
The buckets you want to delete are empty. If buckets you want to delete are not empty, delete objects from the bucket.
These instructions describe how to delete an S3 bucket using the Tenant Manager. You can also delete S3 buckets using the Tenant Management API or the S3 REST API.
You can't delete an S3 bucket if it contains objects, noncurrent object versions, or delete markers. For information about how S3 versioned objects are deleted, see How objects are deleted.
