To delete standard component cards, you must manually remove the infrastructure code for each Amazon CloudFormation resource from your template. The following is a simple way to accomplish this:

1. Take note of the logical ID for the resource to delete.

1. On your template, locate the resource by its logical ID from the `Resources` or `Outputs` section.

1. Delete the resource from your template. This includes the resource logical ID and its nested values, such as `Type` and `Properties`.

1. Check the **Canvas** view to verify that the resource has been removed from your canvas.
