 I have been assigned a particular task in which I am using AWS. In this particular task, I need to programmatically delete a folder in the AWS S3 by using a scripting language or AWS SDK, considering that all content of my database should also be removed. How can I do so? 

 In the context of AWS, you can delete the AWS S3 folder by using AWS SDK or scripting language. Here is the example given by using the Python programming language using the AWS SDK for Boto3:-

Import boto3

# Specify your AWS credentials and region
Aws_access_key_id = ‘your_access_key’
Aws_secret_access_key = ‘your_secret_key’
Region_name = ‘your_region’
# Create an S3 client
S3 = boto3.client(‘s3’, aws_access_key_id=aws_access_key_id, aws_secret_access_key=aws_secret_access_key, region_name=region_name)
# Specify the bucket and folder to delete
Bucket_name = ‘your_bucket’
Folder_path = ‘your_folder/’
# List all objects in the folder
Objects = s3.list_objects(Bucket=bucket_name, Prefix=folder_path)[‘Contents’]
# Delete each object in the folder
For obj in objects:
    S3.delete_object(Bucket=bucket_name, Key=obj[‘Key’])
# Delete the folder itself
S3.delete_object(Bucket=bucket_name, Key=folder_path)

Do not forget to replace “your_access_key”, “your_secret_key”, “your_region”, “your_bucket” and “your_folder” with your real credentials, region, bucket name, and folder Path.
