I'm in the process of deleting a bucket that I created in the wrong region and I need to recreate it. However, I'm noticing that it's taking a long time for the name to become available again. Should I just wait it out, or is it better to choose a different bucket name instead? I want to avoid waiting days if I can help it.

Honestly, it's up to you! If waiting three days isn't a huge deal, then you might want to hang on. But if it’s taking longer than a few hours, it could be better to just go with a new name and save yourself the hassle.
I guess I should’ve specified! How long does it typically take for a bucket name to be freed up after I delete it?
