Deleting multiplexes, programs, and channels
You can delete a multiplex, the programs in a multiplex, and the channels in a multiplex. There are specific rules that are based on the state of the item that you want to work with, as described in this section.
Deleting a multiplex
To delete a multiplex, the multiplex must be idle, and all of its programs must be empty (they must not have associated channels.)
To delete a multiplex
Open the MediaLive console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/medialive/
. -
In the navigation pane, choose Multiplexes, and then choose the multiplex that you want to delete.
-
On the Details pane, choose Multiplex actions, and then choose Stop.
-
On the Programs pane, choose the first program with a running channel, choose Program actions, and then choose Stop channel.
-
Repeat for all the channels that are running.
-
Make a note of the names of the channels, and then display the Channels page. Choose the channels, choose Actions, and then choose Delete.
-
Return to the Multiplex page.
-
Choose Multiplex actions, and then choose Delete multiplex. MediaLive deletes the multiplex and all of its programs.
Deleting a program
You can delete a program that has no channel. You can delete a program when the multiplex is running or idle.
To delete a program

Deleting a channel
You can delete a channel when the multiplex is running or idle. You don’t detach the channel from its program—there is no concept of detaching a channel from a program.
To delete a channel, display the Channel page, and delete the channel in the usual way. For more information, see Deleting a channel.
