How to delete the log files in Amazon s3 according to date.? I have log files in a logs folder folder inside my bucket.

  string sdate = datetime.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd");
  string key = "logs/" + sdate + "*" ;
  AmazonS3 s3Client = AWSClientFactory.CreateAmazonS3Client();

   DeleteObjectRequest delRequest = new DeleteObjectRequest()
  .WithBucketName(S3_Bucket_Name)
  .WithKey(key);

   DeleteObjectResponse res = s3Client.DeleteObject(delRequest);

I tried this but doesn't seem to work. I can delete individual files if I put the whole name in the key. But I want to delete all the log files created for a particular date

You can use S3's Object Lifecycle feature especially Object Expiration to delete all objects under a given prefix and over a given age. It's not instantaneous but it beats having to make pyramid individual requests. To delete everything just make the age small.
