Deleting archives in AWS. I have documentation but is this the easiest way?
Any hand holding sock puppet videos for below?
To delete archives in a vault is a bit more of a complicated process. For a detailed walkthrough in this, I would recommend checking out our developer documentation at the link below:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonglacier/latest/dev/deleting-an-archive.html
As far as testing the backup recovery is concerned, I would caution to be very careful with the retrieval of information, as this could potentially incur very large charges. In order to move forward with the data retrieval, you'll have to disable the Free Tier policy. To learn more about altering the data retrieval policy, follow the link below:

Ooooh. This is good news. ok but sorry, I'm new to AWS. I'm in Amazon Glacier Vaults section of AWS as displayed in the attached pic. I need to locate the Access Key that I conveniently misplaced. It's not mentioned on this page. Where is it on AWS? What if I neglected to jot it down? Hopefully, I can proceed from here. Then I can fill in the cloud berry app referenced on the second pic.

Hello,
My bad, I had to describe in more details.
Access key is a sort of an authentication mechanism.
Here is the guide about how to generate it for your account:

If you still have problems, drop me a pm and I could help you via gotomeeting or teamviewer.

I found the easiest way to delete archives.
It's easy to do it using CloudBerry Explorer.
Follow the steps below:
- Download and install CloudBerry Explorer. You can get free version here:
http://www.cloudberrylab.com/free-amazon-s3-explorer-cloudfront-IAM.aspx
-Register ou Glacier credentials
-Navigate to the vault you wish to delete, press "Get Inventory"
-Wait until the operation finished (it usually takes from 4 to 5 hours)
-You will recevie a list of files located in your vault, delete them
-Once you finioshed with deliting files, you are able to delete a vault itself.
If you any quesitons, please let me know.
