Delete a probe

You can delete a probe rather than deactivating it if you know that you won't need it again later. You can't recover a deleted probe; instead, you must recreate it. Billing charges end for a probe when the probe is deleted. You can delete a probe by using the Amazon CloudWatch console or the Amazon Command Line Interface.
