# API consumer: Delete your domain name access association with a private custom domain name
<a name="apigateway-private-custom-domains-consumer-delete-domain-name-access-association"></a>

If you are an API consumer, at any time, you can delete the access association resource. The API provider can't delete the domain name access association for you.

We recommend that you always delete a domain name access association when you're no longer using it.

------
#### [ Amazon Web Services Management Console ]

**To delete the domain name access association**

1. Sign in to the API Gateway console at [https://console.amazonaws.cn/apigateway](https://console.amazonaws.cn/apigateway).

1. In the main navigation pane, choose **Domain name access associations**.

1. Select your domain name access association, and then choose **Delete**.

1. Confirm your choice, and then choose **Delete**.

------
#### [ Amazon CLI ]

The following `delete-access-association` command deletes the access association:

```
aws apigateway delete-domain-name-access-association \
    --domain-name-access-association-arn 'arn:aws:apigateway:us-west-2:444455556666:/domainnameaccessassociations/domainname/private.example.com+abcd1234/vpcesource/vpce-abcd1234efg'
```
