Finally, click on the Upload button.

Congratulations! You have successfully completed the object upload to your bucket.

Download an object

Once you have uploaded an object to a bucket, you have the option to access its information and download it to your local computer.

 By utilizing the S3 console, you can learn how to download an object from an S3 bucket using a presigned URL. 

It's important to note that you can only download one object at a time. Additionally, if an object's key name ends with periods (.), using the Amazon S3 console to download it will result in the removal of the periods (.) from the downloaded object's key name. 

To preserve the periods (.) in the downloaded object's key name, you need to utilize the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), AWS SDKs, or REST API. For detailed information and examples on using AWS CLI, REST API, and AWS SDKs, please refer to the guide on downloading an object.

Deleting an object

When you no longer have a need for an object or a bucket, it is advisable to delete them in order to prevent additional charges. If you have completed the introductory walkthrough for learning purposes and have no plans to utilize your bucket or objects, it is recommended to delete both the bucket and objects to halt any further accrual of charges. Prior to deleting your bucket, ensure that it is either empty or that the objects within it have been deleted. Once you have deleted the objects and bucket, they will no longer be accessible. If you wish to continue using the same bucket name, it is suggested that you delete the objects or empty the bucket without deleting the bucket itself. Deleting a bucket makes the name available for reuse, although there is a possibility that another AWS account may create a bucket with the same name before you have an opportunity to reuse it.

You have the option to delete a specific object from your bucket without emptying all the objects if you wish to select which objects to delete.

1.  In the Buckets list, choose the name of the bucket that you want to delete an object from.
2.  Select the object that you want to delete.
3.  Choose Delete from the options in the upper right.
4.  On the Delete objects page, type delete to confirm deletion of your objects.
5.  Choose Delete objects

Emptying your bucket

Before deleting your bucket, make sure to empty it, as this action will remove all the objects contained within the bucket.

To empty a bucket

• In the Buckets list, select the bucket that you want to empty, and then choose Empty.
• To confirm that you want to empty the bucket and delete all the objects in it, in Empty bucket, type permanently delete.

Important

Emptying the bucket cannot be undone. Objects added to the bucket while the empty

bucket action is in progress will be deleted.

• To empty the bucket and delete all the objects in it, and choose Empty.
• An Empty bucket: Status page opens that you can use to review a summary of failed and successful
• object deletions.

Deleting your bucket

• To delete a bucket, in the Buckets list, select the bucket.
• Choose Delete.
• To confirm deletion, in Delete bucket, type the name of the bucket.

Important

Deleting a bucket cannot be undone. Bucket names are unique. If you delete your bucket,

another AWS user can use the name. If you want to continue to use the same bucket name,

don't delete your bucket. Instead, empty and keep the bucket.

• To delete your bucket, choose Delete bucket.
