One method for deleting all items within a folder in an S3 bucket while excluding a specific directory is as follows:

  1. Use the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) to navigate to the S3 bucket.
  2. Use the following command to delete all items within the folder, excluding the specific directory:

aws s3 rm s3://bucketname/path/to/folder --recursive --exclude "path/to/folder/excluded_directory/*"

This command will delete all items within the "path/to/folder" directory, except for the files and folders within the "path/to/folder/excluded_directory" directory.

Note: You will need to replace "bucketname" with the name of your S3 bucket, and "path/to/folder" with the path to the folder you want to delete. Additionally, you will need to replace "excluded_directory" with the name of the directory you want to exclude from the deletion.
