<a name="sms-workforce-management-private-api-delete"></a>

You can only have one private workforce in each Amazon Region. You may want to delete your private workforce in an Amazon Region when:
+ You want to create a workforce using a new Amazon Cognito user pool. 
+ You have already created a private workforce using Amazon Cognito and you want to create a workforce using your own OpenID Connect (OIDC) Identity Provider (IdP).
