Disabling or deleting a rule

To stop a [rule](eb-rules.md) from processing [events](eb-events.md) or running on a schedule, you can delete or disable the rule. The following steps walk you through how to delete or disable an EventBridge rule.

**To delete or disable a rule**

1. Open the Amazon EventBridge console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/events/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/events/).

1. In the navigation pane, choose **Rules**.

   Under **Event bus**, select the event bus that is associated with the rule.

1. Do one of the following:

   1. To delete a rule, select the button next to the rule and choose **Actions**, **Delete**, **Delete**.

      If the rule is a managed rule, enter the name of the rule to acknowledge that it is a managed rule and that deleting it may stop functionality in the service that created the rule. To continue, enter the rule name and choose **Force delete**.

   1. To temporarily disable a rule, select the button next to the rule and choose **Disable**, **Disable**.

      You can't disable a managed rule.
