    AWS Glacier: Delete vault

Follow these steps to remove all archives from an AWS vault.
After this is finished, you will be able to delete the vault itself through the browser console.
Step 1 / Retrive inventory

This will create a job that collects required information about the vault.
$ aws glacier initiate-job --job-parameters '{"Type": "inventory-retrieval"}' --account-id YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID --region YOUR_REGION --vault-name YOUR_VAULT_NAME
