    Steps to reproduce:

    1) Turn on Remove Files From Server
    2) Now upload an image to wp.
    3) Now create a php file and use this this:

    require_once("wp-load.php");
wp_delete_attachment(377, true);

    4) replace 377 with the uploaded attachment id.
    5) Run the script in PHP-CLI

    You MUST run it via PHP-CLI

    Results: The attachment won’t delete.

    Expected Results: Delete the attachment as well from the bucket.

    FYI: wp_delete_attachment() works fine when S3 Offload is not active.
    But if it’s active then wp_delete_attachment() does not work, specially when using external script in PHP CLI.

    Hello, sorry for the delay response.
    I actually traced back what was causing this issue.

    My theme has was actually disabling delete_attachment function via do_action if the user does not have enough permission.

    So, that’s why wp_delete_attachment was not working when using script through PHP-CLI because then the script did not have certain permission.

    Disabling the function resolved this issue. This ticket has nothing do with this plugin.

    Marking this ticket as resolved.
