This post was super helpful without this we would have spent tremendous amount of time cleaning up our S3 folders.

We had a requirement to clean up specific folders only. So I tried the following code and it worked like a charm. Also note that I am iterating through the 10 times to delete more than 1000 objects limit that function has. Feel free to modify the limit as you wish.

import boto3
session = boto3.Session(aws_access_key_id='',aws_secret_access_key='')

bucket_name = ''
object_name = ''

s3 = session.client('s3')

for i in range(10):
   versions = s3.list_object_versions (Bucket = bucket_name, Prefix = object_name)
#print (versions)
   version_list = versions.get('Versions')
   for version in version_list:
      keyName = version.get('Key')
      versionId = version.get('VersionId')
      print (keyName + ':' + versionId)
      s3.delete_object(Bucket = bucket_name, Key= keyName, VersionId = versionId)
   marker_list = versions.get('DeleteMarkers')
#print(marker_list)
   for marker in marker_list:
      keyName1 = marker.get('Key')
      versionId1 = marker.get('VersionId')
      print (keyName1 + ':' + versionId1)
      s3.delete_object(Bucket = bucket_name, Key= keyName1, VersionId = versionId1)
