To delete a bucket the best is: First suspend and remove the key of the owner of the bucket: ``` radosgw-admin user suspend --uid=_owner_uid_ radosgw-admin key rm --uid=_owner_uid_ --key-type=s3 --access-key=_access_key_id_ ``` Write this in a ticket for your future self with the date of the operation. Wait a month and delete the owner with the bucket. ``` radosgw-admin user rm --uid=_owner_uid_ --purge-data ```
