Undelete folders from AWS S3

I have a S3 bucket with versioning enabled. It is possible to undelete files, but how can I undelete folders?

I know, S3 does not have folders... but how can I undelete common prefixes? Is there a possibility to undelete files recursively?

I created this simple bash script to restore all the files in an S3 folder I deleted:

#!/bin/bash
    
recoverfiles=$(aws s3api list-object-versions --bucket MyBucketName  --prefix TheDeletedFolder/ --query "DeleteMarkers[?IsLatest && starts_with(LastModified,'yyyy-mm-dd')].{Key:Key,VersionId:VersionId}")
for row in  $(echo "${recoverfiles}" | jq -c '.[]'); do
    key=$(echo "${row}" | jq -r '.Key'  )
    versionId=$(echo "${row}" | jq -r '.VersionId'  )
    echo aws s3api delete-object --bucket MyBucketName --key $key --version-id $versionId
done

yyyy-mm-dd = the date the folder was deleted
