Additional Information

The following information is very important in order to help us to help you. Omission of the following details may delay your support request or receive no attention at all.
Keep in mind that the commands we provide to retrieve information are oriented to GNU/Linux Distributions, so you could need to use others if you use s3fs on macOS or BSD

Version of s3fs being used (s3fs --version)

Amazon Simple Storage Service File System V1.85(commit:unknown) with OpenSSL

Version of fuse being used (pkg-config --modversion fuse, rpm -qi fuse, dpkg -s fuse)

2.9.2-11.el7

Kernel information (uname -r)

3.10.0-957.10.1.el7.x86_64

GNU/Linux Distribution, if applicable (cat /etc/os-release)

NAME="CentOS Linux"
VERSION="7 (Core)"
ID="centos"

s3fs command line used, if applicable

/etc/fstab entry, if applicable

s3fs#test-bucket-infa-sid-without-versioning /without_version fuse _netdev,allow_other,nonempty,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=0007 0 0

#### s3fs syslog messages (grep s3fs /var/log/syslog, journalctl | grep s3fs, or s3fs outputs)
_if you execute s3fs with dbglevel, curldbg option, you can get detail debug messages_

Details about issue

I've mounted S3 bucket on my centos server. When i remove a file from the s3 bucket, i can't see the file is getting listed using ls -lrt.

But am able to see the file when I fire the command "ls -lrt ". After that, I try to cat the file, but nothing displays. Post the cat command, the file doesn't list even for the command "ls -lrt "

This happens on both Versioning enabled and not enabled buckets.

Sorry I don't understand -- you both can and can't see the file with ls -lrt? In the former case if a file appears in the directory listing but cannot be read, it may be because s3fs caches metadata forever. You can control this behavior via -o stat_cache_expire. Please experiment with this and report back.
