Amazon S3 Glacier Vault Lock policy considerations

PDF

This solution doesn't delete the original archives or the source S3 Glacier vault. You must manually delete the archives and vault. For more information, refer to Deleting an Archive in Amazon S3 Glacier in the Amazon S3 Glacier Developer Guide.

If your source S3 Glacier vault has a Vault Lock policy that prevents deletion, you must delete this policy before deleting the original archives. However, if your Vault Lock policy is in the Locked state, you can't delete it. See S3 Glacier Vault Lock and Abort Vault Lock (DELETE lock-policy) in the Amazon S3 Glacier Developer Guide for more information.
