# Use `DeleteInstanceProfile` with an AWS SDK or CLI `DeleteInstanceProfile` The following code examples show how to use `DeleteInstanceProfile`. Action examples are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. You can see this action in context in the following code example: + [Build and manage a resilient service](iam_example_cross_ResilientService_section.md) ------ #### [ .NET ] **SDK for .NET** There's more on GitHub.
