The S3 bucket data is deleted within 30 days according to their documentation here.

However it would be good if there was a way to force this process.
As this isn't sufficient for a case I have where i want to delete a catalog, all it's tables and it's linked external location as If I delete the external location the managed s3 deletion won't happen and the s3 data will be there forever.

So now I have failing terraform pipelines that can't delete this external location (due to having managed table data linked), and if i delete it manually with admin rights the s3 data will remain.
