AWS AmazonS3 documentation change

Service: AmazonS3 · 2025-10-25 · Documentation low

File: AmazonS3/latest/userguide/s3-tables-delete.md

Summary

Clarified deletion methods, fixed markdown syntax for placeholders, removed outdated statement about object removal delays, and added explicit note about permanent data/config removal.

Security assessment

Changes focus on operational accuracy and documentation clarity rather than addressing security vulnerabilities. The mention of permanent data removal is a standard data lifecycle clarification without evidence of patching a security flaw.
