If ADDF is no longer needed, delete ADDF and all its related resources from your AWS accounts. Any unattended and unused infrastructure incurs unnecessary costs and poses a potential security risk. For more information, see [Steps to destroy ADDF](https://github.com/awslabs/autonomous-driving-data-framework/blob/main/docs/deployment_guide.md#steps-to-destroy-addf) (ADDF documentation).
