I’m trying to all the files in my Spaces bucket.
I go to the control panel and the message says: This space cannot be destroyed using the control panel because it contains too many files. View Details
So I go to the folder and try to select all files and delete them. It runs for about a minute then stops working. Nothing is deleted.
I go to install Amazon CLI. And I follow the instructions in Amazon’s docs to delete.
I used the following line:
aws s3 rm s3://my-bucket --recursive --endpoint-url http://sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com
I get the error: fatal error: maximum recursion depth exceeded while calling a Python object
What am I supposed to do now to empty out my bucket?
Also, “Spaces” is not a tag in this forums.

It looks like s3cmd deletes about 1 file per second, so my 136K files will take 37 hours.
I have more than 1 million files in my bucket. s3cmd removes files very low. How I can remove my bucket the fastest way?
Hey friend,
Sorry for the trouble this has given you. I have a slightly different suggestion here:
