Iterate over all S3 buckets in your terraform files and add `force_destroy` to them [1], then apply and destroy.

There could probably be an automated tool for this that wouldn't be too complex.

Does that take care of deleting the files inside the bucket? That's an API call ($). Depending on the data that could be quite a bit.

Delete API calls are free, listing the objects in a bucket to know what to delete is not.
