**To opt an account out of Compute Optimizer**

1. Open a terminal or command prompt window.

   If you haven't already, install the Amazon CLI and configure it to work with Compute Optimizer. For more information, see [Installing the Amazon CLI](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-install.html) and [Quickly Configuring the Amazon CLI](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-configure.html#cli-quick-configuration) in the *Amazon Command Line Interface User Guide*.

1. Enter the following command.

   ```
   aws compute-optimizer update-enrollment-status --status Inactive
   ```
**Note**  
You can't specify the `--include-member-accounts` parameter when opting out with the `update-enrollment-status` command. If you specify this parameter when opting out with this command, an error occurs.

Your account is opted out of Compute Optimizer after running the previous command. At the same time, your account's recommendations and related metrics data are deleted from Compute Optimizer. If you access the Compute Optimizer console, the option to opt in again should be displayed.
