Deleting an Amazon MQ broker

If you don't use an Amazon MQ broker (and don't foresee using it in the near future), it is a best practice to delete it from Amazon MQ to reduce your AWS costs.

The following example shows how you can delete a broker using the AWS Management Console.

Deleting an Amazon MQ broker

1. Sign in to the Amazon MQ console.

2. From the broker list, select your broker (for example, MyBroker) and then choose Delete.

3. In the Delete MyBroker? dialog box, type delete and then choose Delete.

   Deleting a broker takes about 5 minutes.
