How can I get version of overwritten data in Bucket Explorer?

If S3 versioning is enable on your S3 bucket then you can easily list your deleted/overwritten version by right click option List All Versions of bucket. But if S3 versioning is not enable then there are two system buckets for US and Europe , which store version and trash of overwritten and deleted objects respectively. Select the system bucket (US/EU) according to the your bucket's locations (US/EU/US-West/AP-SouthEast-1) and open Version folder, you can see version of overwritten object here with their name appended with date and time.

Note- The objects overwritten or deleted from US or US-West buckets are stored in US system bucket and objects overwritten or deleted from EU or AP-SouthEast-1 are stored in EU buckets.
