Bucket still shows many TB of space used in S3 Std after moving everything to Glacier

0

We moved our files (~150 TB) from S3 Std to Glacier a few months back but we noticed we were still being billed for use of 21 TB of S3 Std storage. I checked the metrics on the bucket and it agrees with the billing and we still have 21 TB in S3 Std storage. I ran an inventory report and, other than about 200 MB of small chk files, everything is in Glacier. The bucket doesn't have versioning enabled currently and I'm not aware that it ever did, I set this up many years ago. How do I find these apparently hidden files?

Can you please check the status of versioning to see its showing suspended , if it is then versioning was enabled and then suspended.. There is an option within S3 bucket where you can see hidden files , you just have to check show versions and you will be able to see if there are version files or not. Also you can check the storage lens to get deep detail of your objects.

If you see versioned objects then have lifecycle policy to move them or expire them as per requirement.

Version Files

  • Thank you for your suggestions. I checked the buckets and all were set to Disabled on Versioning and there was no toggle for Show Versions. I have gone back to the Storage Lens and all the default lens shows me is that we have 21TB of data in S3 Std, no information about what files are in that storage class. I have created a custom lens with the advanced features enabled and now I have to wait 48 hours for it to populate with data. I will update this once I have information in the new custom storage lens. Please let me know if you have any further suggestions.

Looping back to provide the answer to this issue. The hidden files ended up being years of "Incomplete multipart upload bytes greater than 7 days". This was caused by our Internet connection sometimes dropping during the upload of files to the buckets. We set up a lifecycle rule in the bucket to clean this up.
