# DeletionProtectionSettings


A parameter to configure deletion protection. Deletion protection prevents a user from deleting a configuration profile or an environment if AWS AppConfig has called either [GetLatestConfiguration](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/appconfig/2019-10-09/APIReference/API_appconfigdata_GetLatestConfiguration.html) or [GetConfiguration](API_GetConfiguration.md) for the configuration profile or from the environment during the specified interval.

The default interval specified by `ProtectionPeriodInMinutes` is 60. `DeletionProtectionCheck` skips configuration profiles and environments that were created in the past hour.

 ** ProtectionPeriodInMinutes **   <a name="appconfig-Type-DeletionProtectionSettings-ProtectionPeriodInMinutes"></a>
