Delete IAM policies

You can delete IAM policies using the AWS Management Console, the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), or the AWS API.

Note

Deletion of IAM policies is permanent. After the policy is deleted it cannot be recovered.

For more information about IAM policy structure and syntax, see Policies and permissions in AWS Identity and Access Management and the IAM JSON policy element reference.

For more information about the difference between managed and inline policies, see Managed policies and inline policies.

The number and size of IAM resources in an AWS account are limited. For more information, see IAM and AWS STS quotas.
