**Important**  
 AWS Audit Manager is no longer open to new customers. Existing customers can continue to use the service as normal. For more information, see [AWS Audit Manager availability change](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/audit-manager/latest/userguide/audit-manager-availability-change.html).

 Deregisters an account in AWS Audit Manager. 

**Note**  
Before you deregister, you can use the [UpdateSettings](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/audit-manager/latest/APIReference/API_UpdateSettings.html) API operation to set your preferred data retention policy. By default, Audit Manager retains your data. If you want to delete your data, you can use the `DeregistrationPolicy` attribute to request the deletion of your data.   
For more information about data retention, see [Data Protection](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/audit-manager/latest/userguide/data-protection.html) in the * AWS Audit Manager User Guide*.
