Can't delete S3 buckets - Error Data not found

Amazon S3 is what gives a developer their power. It's an energy field created by objects stored in the cloud. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the Internet together.

Some may mock Amazon S3 because they cannot sense invisible objects in their bucket. But the wise Jedi amongst us will check whether the bucket has Versioning enabled. When attempting to rid the galaxy of their bucket, they might see messages such as:

$ aws s3 rb s3://rebel-base --force

remove_bucket failed: An error occurred (BucketNotEmpty) when calling the DeleteBucket operation: The rebel base you tried to destroy is not empty. You must delete all versions in the bucket.

If such resistance is met, sneak into the Amazon S3 management console, select the bucket, choose Versions: Show and reach out with your mind. If any deleted versions of objects are displayed, delete them within this view until all objects cry out in terror and are suddenly silenced.

If this does not lead to the resolution you seek, then check that your Master has allocated sufficient access privileges for you to access the central computer and this particular bucket. It is also possible that these buckets have bucket policies that override the central computer via Deny policies. If so, attempt to bypass security by deleting the bucket policy first, then destroy the rebel bucket. You know better than to trust a strange computer!
