Use the following CLI command to delete a folder from an S3 bucket:

$ aws s3 rm s3://bucket/folder --recursive

--recursive is useful when you need to delete all the subfolders as well.

For further understanding, refer to the AWS Course

Not so useful if you have hundred of thousands of items. This could take hours...
Yes, I agree, it's very time-consuming!

There is a delete-folder option, but you need to know the folder-id:
