You have to use a third party tool.

I have recently used the following tool: http://www.cloudberrylab.com/amazon-glacier-client.aspx

Last year I have used an open source tool that requires a bit more fiddling around: https://github.com/leeroybrun/glacier-vault-remove

I found the first one the easiest to use.

Just curious: why not simply generate a new security key for this user from within the AWS console?

I've used the Freeze app for macOS to empty vaults before deleting them.

Note that if you generate a new security key for the AWS IAM user, I think the Glacier app from QNAP will not let you use an existing vault, and will instead require that you back up to a new vault. This caught me by surprise and is less than ideal.
