Deleting Amazon Config Rules
You can use the Amazon Config console or the Amazon SDKs to delete your rules.
Deleting Rules (Console)
The Rules page shows your rules and their current compliance results in a table. The result for each rule is Evaluating... until Amazon Config finishes evaluating your resources against the rule. You can update the results with the refresh button. When Amazon Config finishes evaluations, you can see the rules and resource types that are compliant or noncompliant. For more information, see Viewing Compliance Information and Evaluation Results for your Amazon Resources.
Note
Amazon Config evaluates only the resource types that it is recording. For example, if you add the cloudtrail-enabled rule but don't record the CloudTrail trail resource type, Amazon Config can't evaluate whether the trails in your account are compliant or noncompliant. For more information, see Recording Amazon Resources.
