# Delete an outcome
<a name="delete-outcome"></a>

You cannot delete an outcome that is used in a rule version.

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

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

The following example uses the [DeleteOutcome](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/frauddetector/latest/api/API_DeleteOutcome.html) API to delete the `verify_customer` outcome. After the outcome is deleted, you can no longer assign it to a rule. 

```
import boto3
fraudDetector = boto3.client('frauddetector')

fraudDetector.delete_outcome(
name = 'verify_customer'
)
```
