Deleting views in Resource Explorer

When you no longer need an Amazon Resource Explorer view, you can delete it. You can delete views by using the Amazon Web Services Management Console or by running Amazon CLI commands or their equivalent API operations in an Amazon SDK.

Note

You can't delete a view that is currently designated as the default for its Amazon Web Services Region. To delete the view, you must remove the view as the default. To do this, you can run the DisassociateDefaultView API operation in that Region.

  • Action: resource-explorer-2:DeleteView
