Deleting a Stack on the AWS CloudFormation Console

To delete a stack

  1. In the CloudFormation Stacks section of the AWS CloudFormation console, select the stack that you would like to delete (it must be currently running).

  2. Either click the Delete Stack button, or right-click on your selected stack and click Delete Stack from the context menu.

  3. If you would like to continue deleting the stack, click Yes, Delete in the confirmation dialog that appears. Otherwise, click No to abort deleting the stack.

Note

After stack deletion has begun, you can no longer abort it. The stack will proceed to the state DELETE_IN_PROGRESS.

After stack deletion is complete, the stack will have the state DELETE_COMPLETE. Stacks in the DELETE_COMPLETE state are not displayed in the AWS CloudFormation console by default. To display deleted stacks, you must change the stack view setting as described in Viewing Deleted Stacks.
