As far as I know, there is no API to remove a bucket even if it is empty.

It is difficult to remove files that are placed directly in the root of the bucket.

We frequently use the following workaround but people feel it's too cumbersome: if you have a bucket named MyBucket, and it has a folder MyFolder, you may remove the content of MyFolder in 2 steps: first, on your local machine, create an empty folder call MyFolder. Then, execute

tsd-s3cmd sync --no-check-md5 --delete-removed --force MyFolder s3://MyBucket

Agreed, very frustrating. I often have buckets with only files, i.e. not folders, so above wont work (will start using this now, but bit silly workaround)

Submitted RT ticket 4145274

Error: running the following command fails to remove the content of the bucket:

tsd-s3cmd del --force -r s3://ofreibucket​

Further, it's not possible to remove the bucket itself (even for empty buckets)

tsd-s3cmd rb s3://ofreibucket

The only workaround is to sync an empty folder:

tsd-s3cmd sync --no-check-md5 --delete-removed --force MyFolder s3://ofreibucket

However this has major limitation: this way one can't remove files in the root of the bucket.
