Recently, I was implored by a friend to move his blog media files from Dropbox to a bucket on Amazon S3.
He gave me a name for the bucket but I made a spelling mistake. I wasn’t aware that there isn’t an option to rename bucket on S3.
To complicate issues, I couldn’t risk going through the stress of deleting the files and then the bucket (firstly, files inside a bucket need to be deleted before you are able to delete the bucket) because I already uploaded the media files to the bucket
If you find yourself in such a dilemma, the only solution is for you to:
- Create a new bucket with the correct name spelling
- Check or tick all the files in the misspelt bucket, right-click and copy
- Navigate to the new folder, right-click and paste.
I hope in the future, the folks at Amazon S3 will introduce an option to rename bucket.
