If you have several abandoned multipart uploads in a S3 bucket that you want to remove, here is a script using awscli that does the job:

#!/bin/bash
BUCKETNAME=my-bucket-name
aws s3api list-multipart-uploads --bucket $BUCKETNAME \
| jq -r '.Uploads[] | "--key \"\(.Key)\" --upload-id \(.UploadId)"' \
| while read -r line; do
    echo "aws s3api abort-multipart-upload --bucket $BUCKETNAME $line";
    eval "aws s3api abort-multipart-upload --bucket $BUCKETNAME $line";
done
