I believe the nesting shouldn’t affect it. When you’re iterating over objects to delete them, you can just iterate over the keys and ignore nesting—I believe that’s how the s3 tools do “recursive” deleting. The underlying S3 API provides a recursive interface (the “delimiter” parameter) but keys are really just string keys, and directories are illusory. But yes, it can take a while to iterate through the objects. |

It won't effect it, because there is no concept of nesting in an object storage engine like S3. Everything is a flat key that references an object, but we just abstract and conceptualize a directory structure because it makes it easier for us to manage our data.
But in reality you just have a really, really long list of keys and a big, flat file system of objects.
