# Create an Amazon S3 Bucket, Verify Its Region, and Optionally Remove It
<a name="pstools-s3-bucket-create"></a>

Use the `New-S3Bucket` cmdlet to create a new Amazon S3 bucket. The following examples creates a bucket named `website-example`. The name of the bucket must be unique across all regions. The example creates the bucket in the `us-west-1` region.

```
PS > New-S3Bucket -BucketName website-example -Region us-west-2

CreationDate         BucketName
------------         ----------
8/16/19 8:45:38 PM   website-example
```

You can verify the region in which the bucket is located using the `Get-S3BucketLocation` cmdlet.

```
PS > Get-S3BucketLocation -BucketName website-example

Value
-----
us-west-2
```

When you're done with this tutorial, you can use the following line to remove this bucket. We suggest that you leave this bucket in place as we use it in subsequent examples.

```
PS > Remove-S3Bucket -BucketName website-example
```

Note that the bucket removal process can take some time to finish. If you try to re-create a same-named bucket immediately, the `New-S3Bucket` cmdlet can fail until the old one is completely gone.
