## Deleting the CloudWatch dashboards
<a name="deleting-the-cloudwatch-dashboards"></a>

This solution creates a CloudWatch dashboard each time a load test runs. These dashboards follow the naming pattern `EcsLoadTesting-<testId>-<region>`. They are cleaned up when you delete a test through the DLT console, but will remain if the stack is deleted without first deleting all tests.

After uninstalling the solution, you can manually delete these dashboards if they were not already cleaned up. Follow these steps to delete the CloudWatch dashboards.

1. Sign in to the [Amazon CloudWatch console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/home).

To delete dashboards using AWS CLI, run the following commands:

```
$ aws cloudwatch list-dashboards --dashboard-name-prefix EcsLoadTesting --query 'DashboardEntries[].DashboardName' --output text
$ aws cloudwatch delete-dashboards --dashboard-names <dashboard-name-1> <dashboard-name-2>
```
