# Deleting an AWS Cloud Map service
Deleting a service

Before you can delete a service, you must deregister all service instances that were registered using the service. For more information, see [Deregistering an AWS Cloud Map service instance](deregistering-instances.md).

After deregistering all instances registered using the service, perform the following procedure to delete the service.

------
#### [ AWS Management Console ]

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the AWS Cloud Map console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudmap/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudmap/).

1. In the navigation pane, choose **Namespaces**.

1. Choose the option for the namespace that contains the service that you want to delete.

1. On the **Namespace: *namespace-name*** page, choose the option for the service that you want to delete.

1. Choose **Delete**.

1. Confirm that you want to delete the service.

------
#### [ AWS CLI ]
+ Delete a service with the `[delete-service](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/servicediscovery/delete-service.html)` command (replace the *red* value with your own).

  ```
  aws servicediscovery delete-service --id srv-xxxxxx
  ```

------
#### [ AWS SDK for Python (Boto3) ]

1. If you don't already have `Boto3` installed, you can find instructions for installing, configuring, and using `Boto3` [here](https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/guide/quickstart.html#installation).

1. Import `Boto3` and use `servicediscovery` as your service.

   ```
   import boto3
   client = boto3.client('servicediscovery')
   ```

1. Delete a service with `delete_service()` (replace the *red* value with your own).

   ```
   response = client.delete_service(
       Id='srv-xxxxxx',
   )
   # If you want to see the response
   print(response)
   ```

   Example response output

   ```
   {
       'ResponseMetadata': {
           '...': '...',
       },
   }
   ```
