Delete a Target Group

If a target group is not referenced by any actions, you can delete it. 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.

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.

To delete a target group using the AWS CLI
