**Example 1: Delete an S3 object**

The following ``rm`` command deletes a single s3 object::

    aws s3 rm s3://amzn-s3-demo-bucket/test2.txt

Output::

    delete: s3://amzn-s3-demo-bucket/test2.txt

**Example 2: Delete all contents in a bucket**

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 ``amzn-s3-demo-bucket`` contains the objects ``test1.txt`` and
``test2.txt``::

    aws s3 rm s3://amzn-s3-demo-bucket \
        --recursive

Output::

    delete: s3://amzn-s3-demo-bucket/test1.txt
    delete: s3://amzn-s3-demo-bucket/test2.txt

**Example 3: Delete all contents in a bucket, except ``.jpg`` files**


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
``amzn-s3-demo-bucket`` has the objects ``test1.txt`` and ``test2.jpg``::

    aws s3 rm s3://amzn-s3-demo-bucket/ \
        --recursive \
        --exclude "*.jpg"

Output::

    delete: s3://amzn-s3-demo-bucket/test1.txt

**Example 4: Delete all contents in a bucket, except objects under the specified prefix**

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 ``amzn-s3-demo-bucket`` has the objects ``test1.txt`` and ``another/test.txt``::

    aws s3 rm s3://amzn-s3-demo-bucket/ \
        --recursive \
        --exclude "another/*"

Output::

    delete: s3://amzn-s3-demo-bucket/test1.txt

**Example 5: Delete an object from an S3 access point**

The following ``rm`` command deletes a single object (``mykey``) from the access point (``myaccesspoint``). ::
The following ``rm`` command deletes a single object (``mykey``) from the access point (``myaccesspoint``). ::

Output::

    delete: s3://arn:aws:s3:us-west-2:123456789012:accesspoint/myaccesspoint/mykey
