You can directly delete an empty S3 bucket using a boto3 client or resource. If the bucket contains objects then you need to first delete all the objects and then only you can delete the bucket.
Note: If S3 versioning is enabled, you also need to disable the versioning first.
Step 1: Install and configure boto3
