The deployment documentation does a great job of describing the steps involved in deploying your architecture:

> **[Serverless Framework - Deploying to AWS](https://www.serverless.com/framework/docs/providers/aws/guide/deploying/)**
>
> The Serverless Framework documentation for AWS Lambda, API Gateway, EventBridge, DynamoDB and much more.

However, one thing I’d like to know is whether I can delete the S3 buckets that are created by this process? and if not, why not?
