Amazon S3 bucket deletion

Similar to this post, here’s a LINQPad script to delete every item from an Amazon S3 bucket:

var awsAccessKeyId = "<access key id>";
var awsSecretAccessKey = "<secret access key>";

var client = new AmazonS3Client( awsAccessKeyId, awsSecretAccessKey );

var listBuckets = client.ListBuckets();
var bucket = listBuckets.Buckets.First();

List<S3Object> objects;

while ( ( objects = client.ListObjects( new ListObjectsRequest { BucketName = bucket.BucketName } ).S3Objects ).Count > 0 )
{
    "".Dump( string.Format( "Deleting {0} items from {1}", objects.Count, bucket.BucketName ) );

    try
    {
        objects.AsParallel().ForAll( o =>
        {
            o.Key.Dump();
            client.DeleteObject( new DeleteObjectRequest { BucketName = bucket.BucketName, Key = o.Key } );
        } );
    }
    catch ( Exception ex )
    {
        // Don't care... just keep going  
    }
}

Some things you’ll need:

Values for awsAccessKeyId and awsSecretAccessKey
A proper filter to get the appropriate bucket. This example just gets the first bucket and wipes it, so use with care
The AWS SDK for .NET from here (either let it install to the GAC or add a reference from LINQPad).
LINQPad, or to use outside of LINQPad just remove the calls to Dump().
