DeleteBucket (SOAP API)
Note
SOAP support over HTTP is deprecated, but it is still available over HTTPS. New Amazon S3 features will not be supported for SOAP. We recommend that you use either the REST API or the AWS SDKs.
The DeleteBucket operation deletes a bucket. All objects in the bucket must be deleted before the bucket itself can be deleted.
Example
This example deletes the "quotes" bucket.
