You can use the Amazon S3 APIs, AWS Command Line Interface, or AWS SDKs to delete a table bucket. Before you delete a table bucket, you must first delete all namespaces and tables within the bucket.

**Important**  
 When you delete a table bucket, you need to know the following:   
Bucket deletion is permanent and can't be undone. 
All data and configurations associated with the bucket are permanently lost.
