Delete an Application Load Balancer target group

You can delete a target group if it is not referenced by the forward actions of any listener rules. Deleting a target group does not affect the targets registered with the target group. If you no longer need a registered EC2 instance, you can stop or terminate it.

To delete a target group using the console
  1. Open the Amazon EC2 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/.

  2. On the navigation pane, under Load Balancing, choose Target Groups.

  3. Select the target group and choose Actions, Delete.

  4. When prompted for confirmation, choose Yes, delete.

To delete a target group using the AWS CLI

Use the delete-target-group command.
