s3 delete key with boto3.client

Question

This would delete all objects in a s3 bucket

s3_b=boto3.client("s3")
objects=s3_b.list_objects(Bucket="bucket_name")["Contents"]
for obj in objects:
    s3_b.delete_object(Bucket='bucket_name',Key=obj["Key"])

Is there a similar way to delete an object with a particular key path like s3://bucket_name/folder1/folder2/folder3/folder4, where I want to delete all the objects within folder4

Edit:
Would it be possible to delete objects in two different paths within the same loop
Eg: 'folder1/folder2/folder3/folder4' and 'folder1/folder2/folder3/folder5'

You could use .delete_objects and pass the objects list as parameter: https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/reference/services/s3.html#S3.Client.delete_objects

You can use filter. For example:

import boto3

s3r = boto3.resource('s3')

bucket = s3r.Bucket('bucket_name')

for object in bucket.objects.filter(Prefix='folder1/folder2/folder3/folder4'):
    print(object)
    #object.delete() # uncomment to delete
