# Deleting entity list or IP address list


When you no longer want to keep a list entry in your entity set or IP address set, you can delete it. It might take a few minutes for the process to complete. For more information, see [Important considerations for GuardDuty lists](guardduty_upload-lists.md#guardduty-lists-entity-sets-considerations). 

If the status of the list is **Activating** or **Deactivating**, you must wait for a few minutes before performing any action. For more information, see [Understanding list statuses](guardduty_upload-lists.md#guardduty-entity-list-statuses).

Choose one of the access methods to delete the list.

#### [ API/CLI ]

To begin with the following procedures, you need the ID, such as `trustedEntitySetId`, `threatEntitySetId`, `trustedIpSet`, or `threatIpSet`, that is associated with the list resource you want to delete. 

**To delete a trusted entity list**

1. Run [DeleteTrustedEntitySet](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/guardduty/latest/APIReference/API_DeleteTrustedEntitySet.html). Make sure to provide the `detectorId` of the member account for which you want to delete this trusted entity list. To find the `detectorId` for your account and current Region, see the **Settings** page in the [https://console.amazonaws.cn/guardduty/](https://console.amazonaws.cn/guardduty/) console, or run the [https://docs.amazonaws.cn/guardduty/latest/APIReference/API_ListDetectors.html](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/guardduty/latest/APIReference/API_ListDetectors.html) API. 

1. Alternatively, you can do this by running the following Amazon Command Line Interface command: 

   ```
   aws guardduty delete-trusted-entity-set \
   --detector-id 12abc34d567e8fa901bc2d34e56789f0 \
   --trusted-entity-set-id d4b94fc952d6912b8f3060768example
   ```

   Replace `detector-id` with the detector ID of the member account for which you will delete the trusted entity list, and other placeholder values that are *shown in red*.

**To deactivate threat entity lists**

1. Run [DeleteThreatEntitySet](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/guardduty/latest/APIReference/API_DeleteThreatEntitySet.html). Make sure to provide the `detectorId` of the member account for which you want to delete this threat entity list. To find the `detectorId` for your account and current Region, see the **Settings** page in the [https://console.amazonaws.cn/guardduty/](https://console.amazonaws.cn/guardduty/) console, or run the [https://docs.amazonaws.cn/guardduty/latest/APIReference/API_ListDetectors.html](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/guardduty/latest/APIReference/API_ListDetectors.html) API. 

1. Alternatively, you can do this by running the following Amazon Command Line Interface command: 

   ```
   aws guardduty delete-threat-entity-set \
   --detector-id 12abc34d567e8fa901bc2d34e56789f0 \
   --threat-entity-set-id d4b94fc952d6912b8f3060768example
   ```

   Replace `detector-id` with the detector ID of the member account for which you will delete the threat entity list, and other placeholder values that are *shown in red*.

**To delete a trusted IP address list**

1. Run [DeleteIPSet](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/guardduty/latest/APIReference/API_DeleteIPSet.html). Make sure to provide the `detectorId` of the member account for which you want to delete this trusted IP address list. To find the `detectorId` for your account and current Region, see the **Settings** page in the [https://console.amazonaws.cn/guardduty/](https://console.amazonaws.cn/guardduty/) console, or run the [https://docs.amazonaws.cn/guardduty/latest/APIReference/API_ListDetectors.html](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/guardduty/latest/APIReference/API_ListDetectors.html) API. 

1. Alternatively, you can do this by running the following Amazon Command Line Interface command and make sure to replace the `detector-id` with the detector ID of the member account for which you will delete the trusted IP address list.

   ```
   aws guardduty delete-ip-set \
   --detector-id 12abc34d567e8fa901bc2d34e56789f0 \
   --ip-set-id d4b94fc952d6912b8f3060768example
   ```

   Replace `detector-id` with the detector ID of the member account for which you will delete the threat entity list, and other placeholder values that are *shown in red*.

**To delete threat IP list**

1. Run [DeleteThreatIntelSet](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/guardduty/latest/APIReference/API_DeleteThreatIntelSet.html). Make sure to provide the `detectorId` of the member account for which you want to delete this threat IP address list. To find the `detectorId` for your account and current Region, see the **Settings** page in the [https://console.amazonaws.cn/guardduty/](https://console.amazonaws.cn/guardduty/) console, or run the [https://docs.amazonaws.cn/guardduty/latest/APIReference/API_ListDetectors.html](https://docs.amazonaws.cn/guardduty/latest/APIReference/API_ListDetectors.html) API. 

1. Alternatively, you can do this by running the following Amazon Command Line Interface command and make sure to replace the `detector-id` with the detector ID of the member account for which you will delete the threat IP list.

   ```
   aws guardduty delete-threat-intel-set \
   --detector-id 12abc34d567e8fa901bc2d34e56789f0 \
   --threat-intel-set-id d4b94fc952d6912b8f3060768example
