Hi,

I am wondering how to empty an S3Bucket or a ECR Registry to be able to delete the Bucket or the ECR Registry?

Thanks in advance

For now, you can not directly do that with awless. However, this can be done with bash one-liners:

To empty a s3bucket, replace your-bucket (2 times) with the name of the bucket you want to empty and run:

awless list s3objects --filter bucket=your-bucket --format tsv | tail -n +2 | cut -f 1 | xargs -n1 awless delete s3object bucket=your-bucket name=

When you have checked that the output is correct (it attempts to delete the correct objects), add the -f flag to awless delete s3object, in order to disable the confirmation prompt.

To empty a registry, i.e. delete all the repositories of an account registry, replace your-account with the ID of the account of the ECR registry. Note that you can know your account with awless whoami --account-only and if you want to empty the registry of your current account, you can omit this parameter:

awless list repositories --filter account=your-account --format tsv | tail -n +2 | cut -f 1 | xargs -n1 awless delete repository force=true account=your-account name=

When you have checked that the output is correct (it attempts to delete the correct objects), add the -f flag to awless delete repository, in order to disable the confirmation prompt.
