Hi Jean, > I'm deleting a bucket with many objects like this: > $ ./s3cmd --verbose --progress rb --force s3://BUCKETNAME > > Memory use is at 1.8GB resident now.
I know this is an issue for users with extremly large buckets. For now, before the memory utilisation is optimised, I suggest to delete the objects in chunks, for example if "s3cmd ls s3://BUCKETNAME/" gives you s3://BUCKETNAME/folder1 s3://BUCKETNAME/folder2 s3://BUCKETNAME/folder3 you can do: s3cmd --recursive del s3://BUCKETNAME/folder1 once it's done: s3cmd --recursive del s3://BUCKETNAME/folder2 etc. That should make it much faster. Also give s3cmd-0.9.9-rc3-speedup release a try. It' in SourceForge -> Files -> testing. It should significantly trim down the runtime but doesn't work from behind a proxy.
