# Deleting a Multi-Region Access Point
<a name="multi-region-access-point-delete-examples"></a>

The following procedure explains how to delete a Multi-Region Access Point by using the Amazon S3 console. Be aware that deleting a Multi-Region Access Point doesn't delete the buckets associated with the Multi-Region Access Point. Instead, it only deletes the Multi-Region Access Point itself.

**Note**  
S3 Multi-Region Access Points using buckets in AWS opt-in Regions is currently only supported through AWS SDKs and the AWS CLI. To delete a Multi-Region Access Point using buckets in an opt-in Region, make sure to specify which AWS opt-in Regions your account can use first. Otherwise, if you try to delete a Multi-Region Access Point that uses buckets in disabled AWS opt-in Regions, you'll receive an error.

You can use the AWS CLI to delete a Multi-Region Access Point. This action does not delete the buckets associated with the Multi-Region Access Point, only the Multi-Region Access Point itself. To use this example command, replace the `user input placeholders` with your own information.

```
aws s3control delete-multi-region-access-point --account-id 123456789012 --details Name=example-multi-region-access-point-name
```
