how to delete files from amazon s3 bucket?

I need to write code in python that will delete the required file from an Amazon s3 bucket. I am able to connect to the Amazon s3 bucket, and also to save files, but how can I delete a file?

Solution 1:

Using boto3 (currently version 1.4.4) use S3.Object.delete().

import boto3

s3 = boto3.resource('s3')
s3.Object('your-bucket', 'your-key').delete()

Solution 2:

Using the Python boto3 SDK (and assuming credentials are setup for AWS), the following will delete a specified object in a bucket:

import boto3

client = boto3.client('s3')
client.delete_object(Bucket='mybucketname', Key='myfile.whatever')
