You can use object_versions.

def delete_all_versions(bucket_name: str, prefix: str):
    s3 = boto3.resource('s3')
    bucket = s3.Bucket(bucket_name)
    if prefix is None:
        bucket.object_versions.delete()
    else:
        bucket.object_versions.filter(Prefix=prefix).delete()

delete_all_versions("my_bucket", None) # empties the entire bucket
delete_all_versions("my_bucket", "my_prefix/") # deletes all objects matching the prefix (can be only one if only one matches)
