Delete AWS CloudFormation StackSets

To delete a StackSet, you must first delete all stacks in the StackSet. For information about how to delete all stacks, see Delete stacks from StackSets.

Delete a StackSet (console)

To delete a StackSet

  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the AWS CloudFormation console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudformation.

  2. On the navigation bar at the top of the screen, choose the AWS Region you created the StackSet in.

  3. On the StackSets page, select the StackSet.

Note

When acting as a delegated administrator, you must include --call-as DELEGATED_ADMIN in the command.

To delete a StackSet

  1. Use the following delete-stack-set command. When you are prompted to confirm, type y, and then press Enter.

    aws cloudformation delete-stack-set --stack-set-name my-stackset

  2. Verify that the StackSet was deleted by running the list-stack-sets command. The results of the list-stack-sets command should show your stack with a status of DELETED.

    aws cloudformation list-stack-sets

Delete service roles (optional)

If you no longer need the IAM service roles that CloudFormation requires to perform StackSet operations, we recommend that you delete the roles.

For self-managed StackSets, the roles you created. For more information about these roles, see Grant self-managed permissions.

For service-managed StackSets, the roles that were automatically created for StackSets have the suffix CloudFormationStackSetsOrgAdmin in the organization management account, and CloudFormationStackSetsOrgMember in each target account. For more information, see Service-linked roles.

To delete a service role (console)

  1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the IAM console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/.

  2. From the navigation pane, choose Roles, and then fill the check box next to the role that you want to delete.

  3. In the Role actions menu at the top of the page, choose Delete role.

  4. In the confirmation dialog box, choose Yes, Delete. If you are sure, you can proceed with the deletion even if the service last accessed data is still loading.
