Delete Multiple Subfolders in S3 Bucket using AWS CLI

Is it possible to delete multiple subfolders in S3 using the AWS CLI? There's include and exclude command specified in the documentation but I think it's for the S3 Items and not for folders?

Tried this command but its not working aws s3 rm s3://bucketname/*/*/foldertodelete --recursive 

Sample folder structure:

bucketname/folder/subfolder/itemfolder
bucketname/folder/subfolder/foldertodelete

bucketname/anotherfolder/subfolder/itemfolder
bucketname/anotherfolder/subfolder/foldertodelete

bucketname/andanotherfolder/andsubfolder/itemfolder
bucketname/andanotherfolder/andsubfolder/foldertodelete

Did I missed something? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

You could use multiple --includes:

aws s3 rm s3://bucket --recursive --include "folder1/*" --include "foo/folder2/*"

...as well as multiple --excludes.

Note: the order of --include and --exclude matters, they are applied in order. Also default is --include "*" if nothing given.

Try this: (Make sure you create a backup before running the command to avoid any unexpected result)

aws s3 rm s3://bucketname/ --exclude "*" --include "*foldertodelete/*" --recursive

Wildcard is not supported in the command's path argument.
