This section explains how to delete an object through an access point for a general purpose bucket using the AWS Management Console, AWS Command Line Interface, or REST API.

To delete an object or objects through an access point in your AWS account

  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon S3 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/s3/.

  7. Review the objects listed for deletion, and type delete in the confirmation box.
