If you want to delete the event data store, you must disable termination protection. You can disable termination protection by using the Amazon Web Services Management Console, Amazon CLI, or API operations.

  2. In the navigation pane, under Lake, choose Event data stores.

  3. Choose the event data store.

  4. From Actions, choose Change termination protection.
