title: Can I delete data (rows in tables) from Athena?
body: <p>Is it possible to delete data stored in S3 through an Athena query? I have some rows I have to delete from a couple of tables (they point to separate buckets in S3). </p>
  
  <p>I couldn't find a way to do it in the Athena User Guide: <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/athena/latest/ug/athena-ug.pdf" rel="noreferrer">https://docs.aws.amazon.com/athena/latest/ug/athena-ug.pdf</a> and <code>DELETE FROM</code> isn't supported, but I'm wondering if there is an easier way than trying to find the files in S3 and deleting them.</p>
