How to delete a non-empty S3 bucket using AWS SDK for Go v2

I'm using AWS sdk v2

and I need to delete a bucket that had objects

what's the best way to do so? is there something to force delete? or that deleted all the objects inside a bucket?

The AWS documentation Deleting a bucket describes how to delete a bucket that has objects. The documentation also provides an SDK example (written in Java, but mainly serves as a guideline) that performs the following steps:

• Delete all objects
• Delete all object versions (for versioned buckets)
• Finally delete bucket

There is no "force delete" option for non-empty buckets. You would need to implement the above steps.

The following sample code shows how to completely delete a non-empty bucket:

func main() {
cfg, err := config.LoadDefaultConfig(context.TODO(), config.WithRegion("us-east-1"))
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Failed to load config: %v", err)
}
bucket := aws.String("your-bucket-name")
client := s3.NewFromConfig(cfg)
deleteObject := func(bucket, key, versionId *string) {
log.Printf("Object: %s/%s\n", *key, aws.ToString(versionId))
_, err := client.DeleteObject(context.TODO(), &s3.DeleteObjectInput{
Bucket:    bucket,
Key:       key,
VersionId: versionId,
})
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Failed to delete object: %v", err)
}
}
in := &s3.ListObjectsV2Input{Bucket: bucket}
for {
out, err := client.ListObjectsV2(context.TODO(), in)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Failed to list objects: %v", err)
}
for _, item := range out.Contents {
deleteObject(bucket, item.Key, nil)
}
if out.IsTruncated {
in.ContinuationToken = out.ContinuationToken
} else {
break
}
}
inVer := &s3.ListObjectVersionsInput{Bucket: bucket}
for {
out, err := client.ListObjectVersions(context.TODO(), inVer)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Failed to list version objects: %v", err)
}
for _, item := range out.DeleteMarkers {
deleteObject(bucket, item.Key, item.VersionId)
}
for _, item := range out.Versions {
deleteObject(bucket, item.Key, item.VersionId)
}
if out.IsTruncated {
inVer.VersionIdMarker = out.NextVersionIdMarker
inVer.KeyMarker = out.NextKeyMarker
} else {
break
}
}
_, err = client.DeleteBucket(context.TODO(), &s3.DeleteBucketInput{Bucket: bucket})
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("Failed to delete bucket: %v", err)
}
}

You should probably optimize this further and use DeleteObjects for batch calls in order to reduce request overhead.
