Remove all .DS_Store files (or any unwanted indexing file) from a S3 bucket, recursively
Raw
remove-indexing-files.md

You can replace "*.DS_Store" with any other recurrent file (e.g. Desktop.ini)

Please!

Validate that you are going to delete only what you want passing the --dryrun option. I've left if by default just in case of copy/paste.

aws s3 rm s3://your.bucket.name/maybe-a-subkey --dryrun --recursive --exclude "*" --include "*.DS_Store"
