2. Select your S3 bucket

3. Select the Management tab

4. In Lifecycle rules, click on Create lifecycle rule

5. In Lifecycle rule configuration, enter a rule name (e.g. delete marker cleanup) and choose Apply to all objects in the bucket

6. In Lifecycle rule actions, select Delete expired object delete markers or incomplete multipart uploads

7. In Delete expired object delete markers or incomplete multipart uploads, select Delete expired object delete markers.

8. Select Create rule to create the lifecycle rule.
