Clean Up Resources in Amazon WorkSpaces Applications
You can stop your running fleet and delete your active stack to free up resources and to avoid unintended charges to your account. We recommend stopping any unused, running fleets.
Note that you cannot delete a stack with an associated fleet.
Important
To delete a fleet that has an associated auto scaling policy, the IAM role used to
perform the deletion must include the
application-autoscaling:DeregisterScalableTarget permission. Without
this permission, the fleet deletion will not fail, however, the service cannot
deregister the auto scaling target associated with the fleet and it will remain as an
orphan resource. Ensure this permission is included in the user's IAM policy before
attempting to delete a fleet with active scaling policies.
