The following ``rb`` command removes a bucket. In this example, the user's bucket is ``mybucket``. Note that the bucket must be empty in order to remove:: aws s3 rb s3://mybucket Output:: remove_bucket: mybucket The following ``rb`` command uses the ``--force`` parameter to first remove all of the objects in the bucket and then remove the bucket itself. In this example, the user's bucket is ``mybucket`` and the objects in ``mybucket`` are ``test1.txt`` and ``test2.txt``:: aws s3 rb s3://mybucket --force Output:: delete: s3://mybucket/test1.txt delete: s3://mybucket/test2.txt remove_bucket: mybucket
