This Guidance does not automatically delete these resources in case you have stored data to retain.

Using AWS Command Line Interface

$ aws cloudformation delete-stack --stack-name <installation-stack-name>

Deleting the S3 buckets

This Guidance is configured to retain the Guidance-created S3 buckets if you decide to delete the CloudFormation stack, to prevent accidental data loss.

This Guidance is configured to retain the Guidance-created DynamoDB tables if you decide to delete the CloudFormation stack, to prevent accidental data loss.

  1. Sign in to the DynamoDB console.

  2. Choose Tables from the left navigation pane.

  3. Locate the <stack-name> DynamoDB tables.

  4. Select each DynamoDB table and choose Delete.
