Use DeleteSamplingRule with an AWS SDK or CLI

To delete a sampling rule

The following delete-sampling-rule example deletes the specified sampling rule. You can specify the group by using either the group name or group ARN.

aws xray delete-sampling-rule \
    --rule-name polling-scorekeep

Output:

    "SamplingRuleRecord": {
        "SamplingRule": {
            "RuleName": "polling-scorekeep",
            "RuleARN": "arn:aws:xray:us-west-2:123456789012:sampling-rule/polling-scorekeep",
