# Uninstall the solution
<a name="uninstall-the-solution"></a>

You can uninstall the Live Streaming on AWS solution from the AWS Management Console or by using the [AWS Command Line Interface](https://aws.amazon.com/cli/). You must manually delete the Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket created by this solution. AWS Solutions Implementations do not automatically delete the S3 bucket in case you have stored data to retain.

## Using the AWS Management Console

Determine whether the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) is available in your environment. For installation instructions, refer to [What Is the AWS Command Line Interface](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-welcome.html) in the *AWS CLI User Guide*. After confirming that the AWS CLI is available, run the following command.

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

## Delete the Amazon S3 buckets
<a name="delete-the-amazon-s3-buckets"></a>

This solution is configured to retain the solution-created Amazon S3 buckets if you decide to delete the AWS CloudFormation stack to prevent accidental data loss. After uninstalling the solution, you can manually delete the S3 buckets if you do not need to retain the data. Follow these steps to delete the Amazon S3 buckets.

1. Sign in to the [Amazon S3 console](https://console.aws.amazon.com/s3/home).

1. Choose **Buckets** from the left navigation pane.

1. Locate the {{<stack-name>}} S3 buckets.

1. Select the S3 bucket and choose **Delete**.

To delete the S3 buckets using AWS CLI, run the following command. You will not need to empty the bucket first when using the `--force` option.

```
$ aws s3 rb s3://<bucket-name> --force
```
