Deleting collections - Amazon OpenSearch Service

Deleting collections

Deleting a collection deletes all data and indexes in the collection. You can't recover collections after you delete them.

To delete a collection using the console

  1. From the Collections panel of the Amazon OpenSearch Service console, select the collection you want to delete.

  2. Choose Delete and confirm deletion.

To delete a collection using the AWS CLI, send a DeleteCollection request:

aws opensearchserverless delete-collection --id 07tjusf2h91cunochc

Sample response

   "deleteCollectionDetail":{
      "id":"07tjusf2h91cunochc",
      "name":"my-collection",
      "status":"DELETING"
   }
