Delete an AWS Direct Connect gateway

If you no longer require a Direct Connect gateway, you can delete it. You must first disassociate all associated virtual private gateways and delete the attached private virtual interface. Once you've disassociated any associated virtual private gateways and deleted any attached virtual private interfaces, you can delete the Direct Connect gateway using either the AWS Direct Connect console or using the command line or API.
