Bucket created by EBS (Elastic Beanstalk) cannot be deleted

Question

I tried the Elastic Beanstalk(EBS) to practice my learning and quickly I deleted it. However, I see there is an S3 bucket created by this EBS service during its launch, is still existing though everything else (like Ec2) is deleted on its on while I deleted the EBS in my account. I want to delete this S3 too, but it gives error while deleting: "Insufficient permissions to delete bucket" After you or your AWS admin have updated your IAM permissions to allow s3:DeleteBucket, choose delete bucket. API response -Access Denied

I created EBS and deleted under my root account. I am still under my root account while trying to delete S3 but I get this error. Can someone pls advise, what I am missing here because I did not used any S3 Role as it points in its error message. Any help pls?

Answer 1

1. In the S3 dashboard, select the bucket you want to delete
2. Select the "Permissions" tab.
3. Navigate to the Bucket Policies & delete the policy

It is the bucket policy created by EB that denies its deletion.

Once the policy is deleted, you will be able to delete the bucket as well.
