Use DeleteFunction with an AWS SDK or command line tool

The following code examples show how to use DeleteFunction.

Action examples are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. You can see this action in context in the following code example:

        var response = await _lambdaService.DeleteFunctionAsync(request);

        // A return value of NoContent means that the request was processed.
        // In this case, the function was deleted, and the return value
        // is intentionally blank.

CLI

AWS CLI

Example 1: To delete a Lambda function by function name

The following delete-function example deletes the Lambda function named my-function by specifying the function's name.

aws lambda delete-function \
    --function-name my-function

This command produces no output.

Example 2: To delete a Lambda function by function ARN

The following delete-function example deletes the Lambda function named my-function by specifying the function's ARN.

aws lambda delete-function \
    --function-name arn:aws:lambda:us-west-2:123456789012:function:my-function

This command produces no output.

Example 3: To delete a Lambda function by partial function ARN

The following delete-function example deletes the Lambda function named my-function by specifying the function's partial ARN.

aws lambda delete-function \
    --function-name 123456789012:function:my-function

This command produces no output.
