Deleting your Amazon DataSync task
If you no longer need an Amazon DataSync task, you can delete it and its related Amazon resources.
Prerequisites
When you run a task, DataSync automatically creates and manages network interfaces for data transfer traffic (for more information, see Network interface requirements).
To make sure that you delete these network interfaces when you delete your task, you must have the following IAM permissions:
-
ec2:DeleteNetworkInterface
-
ec2:DescribeNetworkInterfaces
-
ec2:ModifyNetworkInterfaceAttribute
These permissions are available in the Amazon managed policy
AWSDataSyncFullAccess
. For more information, see Amazon managed policies for Amazon DataSync.
Deleting the task
Once you delete a task, you can't restore it.
Open the Amazon DataSync console at https://console.amazonaws.cn/datasync/
. In the left navigation pane, choose Tasks.
Select the task that you want to delete.
-
Choose Actions, then choose Delete.
In the dialog box, choose Delete.
Copy the following
delete-task
command:aws datasync delete-task \ --task-arn "
task-to-delete
"For the
--task-arn
parameter, specify the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the task you're deleting (for example,arn:aws-cn:datasync:us-east-2:123456789012:task/task-012345678abcd0123
).Run the
delete-task
command.
