To delete an instance profile

The following delete-instance-profile command deletes the instance profile named ExampleInstanceProfile.

aws iam delete-instance-profile \
    --instance-profile-name ExampleInstanceProfile

This command produces no output.

For more information, see Using instance profiles in the Amazon IAM User Guide.

      const client = new IAMClient({});
      await client.send(
        new DeleteInstanceProfileCommand({
          InstanceProfileName: NAMES.instanceProfileName,
        }),
      );

Example 1: This example deletes the EC2 instance profile named MyAppInstanceProfile. The first command detaches any roles from the instance profile, and then the second command deletes the instance profile.

(Get-IAMInstanceProfile -InstanceProfileName MyAppInstanceProfile).Roles | Remove-IAMRoleFromInstanceProfile -InstanceProfileName MyAppInstanceProfile
Remove-IAMInstanceProfile -InstanceProfileName MyAppInstanceProfile

This example removes the role from the instance profile, detaches all policies attached to the role, and deletes all the resources.
