# Delete label
<a name="delete-label"></a>

When you delete a label, Amazon Fraud Detector permanently deletes that label and the data is no longer stored in Amazon Fraud Detector.

You cannot delete a label that is included in an event type in Amazon Fraud Detector. And you also cannot delete a label that is assigned to an event ID. You must first delete the relevant event ID. 

You can delete labels in Amazon Fraud Detector console, using the [delete-label](https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/frauddetector/delete-label.html) command, using the [DeleteLabel](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/frauddetector/latest/api/API_DeleteLabel.html) API, or using the AWS SDK for Python (Boto3)
