I deleted an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) Glacier archive and was charged a fee.

Resolution

Amazon S3 Glacier storage classes have a minimum storage duration charge. If you delete an archive before meeting the minimum storage duration, you are charged a prorated early deletion fee.

Amazon S3 Glacier minimum storage duration depends on the storage class used. For a summary of minimum storage duration for each storage class, see Performance across the S3 storage classes.
