# DeleteConfigurationRecorder Deletes the customer managed configuration recorder. This operation does not delete the configuration information that was previously recorded. You will be able to access the previously recorded information by using the [GetResourceConfigHistory](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/APIReference/API_GetResourceConfigHistory.html) operation, but you will not be able to access this information in the AWS Config console until you have created a new customer managed configuration recorder. ## Request Syntax ``` { "ConfigurationRecorderName": "string" } ``` ## Request Parameters For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see [Common Parameters](CommonParameters.md). The request accepts the following data in JSON format. ** [ConfigurationRecorderName](#API_DeleteConfigurationRecorder_RequestSyntax) ** The name of the customer managed configuration recorder that you want to delete. You can retrieve the name of your configuration recorders by using the [DescribeConfigurationRecorders](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/APIReference/API_DescribeConfigurationRecorders.html) operation. Type: String Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 256. Required: Yes ## Response Elements If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response with an empty HTTP body. ## Errors For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see [Common Error Types](CommonErrors.md). ** InvalidConfigurationRecorderNameException ** The configuration recorder name is not valid. The prefix "`AWSConfigurationRecorderFor`" is reserved for service-linked configuration recorders. HTTP Status Code: 400 ** NoSuchConfigurationRecorderException ** You have specified a configuration recorder that does not exist. HTTP Status Code: 400 ** UnmodifiableEntityException ** The requested operation is not valid. For [PutConfigurationRecorder](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/APIReference/API_PutConfigurationRecorder.html), you will see this exception because you cannot use this operation to create a service-linked configuration recorder. Use the [PutServiceLinkedConfigurationRecorder](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/APIReference/API_PutServiceLinkedConfigurationRecorder.html) operation to create a service-linked configuration recorder. For [DeleteConfigurationRecorder](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/APIReference/API_DeleteConfigurationRecorder.html), you will see this exception because you cannot use this operation to delete a service-linked configuration recorder. Use the [DeleteServiceLinkedConfigurationRecorder](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/APIReference/API_DeleteServiceLinkedConfigurationRecorder.html) operation to delete a service-linked configuration recorder. For [StartConfigurationRecorder](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/APIReference/API_StartConfigurationRecorder.html) and [StopConfigurationRecorder](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/APIReference/API_StopConfigurationRecorder.html), you will see this exception because these operations do not affect service-linked configuration recorders. Service-linked configuration recorders are always recording. To stop recording, you must delete the service-linked configuration recorder. Use the [DeleteServiceLinkedConfigurationRecorder](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/APIReference/API_DeleteServiceLinkedConfigurationRecorder.html) operation to delete a service-linked configuration recorder. HTTP Status Code: 400 ** ValidationException ** The requested operation is not valid. You will see this exception if there are missing required fields or if the input value fails the validation. For [PutStoredQuery](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/APIReference/API_PutStoredQuery.html), one of the following errors: + There are missing required fields. + The input value fails the validation. + You are trying to create more than 300 queries. For [DescribeConfigurationRecorders](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/APIReference/API_DescribeConfigurationRecorders.html) and [DescribeConfigurationRecorderStatus](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/APIReference/API_DescribeConfigurationRecorderStatus.html), one of the following errors: + You have specified more than one configuration recorder. + You have provided a service principal for service-linked configuration recorder that is not valid. For [AssociateResourceTypes](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/APIReference/API_AssociateResourceTypes.html) and [DisassociateResourceTypes](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/config/latest/APIReference/API_DisassociateResourceTypes.html), one of the following errors: + Your configuraiton recorder has a recording strategy that does not allow the association or disassociation of resource types. + One or more of the specified resource types are already associated or disassociated with the configuration recorder. + For service-linked configuration recorders, the configuration recorder does not record one or more of the specified resource types.
