Delete bucket items

Delete an item in an S3 bucket

The following function can be used to delete an item in an S3 bucket

import boto3

def delete_item(key, bucket):
    # delete item from s3 bucket
    client = boto3.client('s3')
    client.delete_object(
        Bucket=bucket, 
        Key=key
    )

When calling the function you need to pass
