aws s3 how to protect against accidental deletion

I want to have a protection against accidental deletion on our s3 bucket, so i delete an object i can restore it for 1 day before definitive deletion.
What i try:
Enable versionning on the bucket
Create a lifecycle rule with "Permanently delete noncurrent versions of objects", "Delete expired object delete markers or incomplete multipart upload"
But with this when i delete an object i can restore it, but if i didn't resstore it it's never definitively deleted

What happens if I delete an S3 object before replication?

Long time listener, first time caller...
If I have an S3 bucket which is versioned (as per the documentation for replication) and bucket replication is enabled; what happens if the source bucket object is deleted before replication has taken place?
I'm assuming (as the source bucket is versioned) the replication will still take place. The replication logic surely sees a new object creation event and replicates this in the destination bucket. Because I've not specified any other configuration, the delete marker subsequently placed on the source bucket object will not be replicated onto the destination object. Therefore it should just appear as normal in the destination bucket and not be visible in the source bucket.
I can't find anything concrete in the documentation that clarifies the position on this situation.
It depends on which option you choose in your replication configuration:
V1: the delete marker is replicated - a subsequent GET request to the deleted object does not return the object in either the source or the destination bucket.
V2: the delete marker is not replicated - a subsequent GET request to the deleted object returns the object only in the destination bucket.

Lifecycle Policy Not Deleting Deleted Object Permanently On AWS S3 bucket

Versioning is not suitable in my case because if the user wants to delete anything in storage it would be deleted permanently not soft-deleted but for the backup purpose, I have to use Cross-Region Replication and to use CRR I need to enable Versioning.
I tried to delete those object which has Delete-marker as the current version and non-current version as a soft deleted object. here is my life cycle rule policy. No Transitions, No current version expiration.
Only applied the Previous version permanently delete so that it considers delete marker as the current version and soft-deleted object as the previous version and delete it permanently BUT I DON'T KNOW IT IS NOT WORKING...!
I checked on next day the deleted version is still there also I have added multiple version of the same object and that versions are also not deleted.
If you have only just enabled it, it might still be queuing objects that need to be deleted.
Lifecycle policies do not delete exactly after this marker, in fact actions are queued and processed later on.
When an object reaches the end of its lifetime, Amazon S3 queues it for removal and removes it asynchronously. There might be a delay between the expiration date and the date at which Amazon S3 removes an object. You are not charged for storage time associated with an object that has expired.
Sometimes when you first configure it can be slightly delayed (because it has not queued anything) so I would suggest checking back in a couple of days when this process should now have happened.
More information is available in the Understanding object expiration documentation.

Can I restore S3 objects from deleted folder with glacier storage class

I recently deleted by error a complete folder in an S3 bucket without versioning activated. This folder used to have a lifecycle policy, a lot of objects were in a glacier state. Now I can't find them, event in a vault.
Can I retrieve the deleted folder or is it a lost cause?
Unfortunately, I believe if you didn't have versioning running on the bucket to the best of my knowledge you cannot recover the items.
As stated on https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/user-guide/undelete-objects.html
"To be able to undelete a deleted object, you must have had versioning
enabled on the bucket that contains the object before the object was
deleted."

S3 versioning - why leave an expired delete marker behind?

I'm adding a lifecycle rule for a versioned bucket, and I'm confused about this:
Specifically, the "remove expired object delete marker" option. Why would one not want to remove that? If I have an object with just one version, and I delete that object/version, five days later it will be permanently deleted. Then there's a delete marker hanging around pointing to nothing, so what's the point of keeping it?
Amazon S3 will not automatically delete expired object delete markers. The lifecycle policy provides a means to do so.
Deleting the last version of an object that has a delete marker will merely delete the object. It does not trigger an action on S3 to determine whether there are any expired delete markers. So, yes, the lifecycle rule is worth implementing if the bucket is versioned and versions of objects are often deleted.
