Delete a variable

When you delete a variable, Amazon Fraud Detector permanently deletes that variable and the data is no longer stored in Amazon Fraud Detector.

You can't delete variables that are included in an event type in Amazon Fraud Detector. You will have to first delete the event type the variable is associated with and then delete the variable.

You can't delete Amazon Fraud Detector model output variables and SageMaker model output variables manually. Amazon Fraud Detector automatically deletes model output variables when you delete the model.
