AWS S3 Remove Folder: A Step-by-Step Guide

Removing a folder from AWS S3 can be a bit tricky, but don't worry, I've got you covered. You can't directly delete a folder in S3, but you can use a combination of commands to achieve the same result.

To remove a folder and all its contents, you'll need to use the AWS CLI or SDK to delete the folder's contents and then delete the folder itself. This process can be done programmatically or manually using the AWS Management Console.
