Can a bucket name be available after deleting AWS account?

You have an account in AWS. Let's call it Account1.

You create a S3 bucket with the name of 'myBestBucket'. Now the bucket name is not available for any other user in any other account.

Let's say that you now delete your Account1. The account is closed and I guess AWS will delete all resources linked to it.

Would the bucket name ('myBestBucket') be available from another account after sometime?

It will be available eventually, not really sure of the timing, but when I have had to delete a bucket so that it could be created under another account it only took a matter of minutes (about 3 minutes if I remember correctly); so if the goal is to allow another account to take over a bucket name, I would recommend deleting the bucket, and waiting for it to be available before deleting the account that originally owned the bucket name.

After deleting a bucket. You have to wait some time to create the bucket with the same name. It is not instantly available after deleting it. It happened to me before. Just wait for some time and try creating it.
