Deleting an accelerator

If you created an accelerator as a test or if you're no longer using an accelerator, you can delete it. On the console, disable the accelerator, and then you can delete it. You don't have to remove listeners and endpoint groups from the accelerator.

To delete an accelerator by using an API operation instead of the console, you must first remove all listeners and endpoint groups that are associated with the accelerator, and then disable it. For more information, see the DeleteAccelerator operation in the AWS Global Accelerator API Reference.

To disable an accelerator

1. Open the Global Accelerator console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/globalaccelerator/home.

2. In the list, choose an accelerator that you want to disable.

3. Choose Edit.

4. Choose Disable accelerator, and then choose Save.

   Note

   If you haven't disabled the accelerator, Delete is unavailable.

   Important

   When you delete an accelerator, you lose the static IP addresses that are assigned to the accelerator, so you can no longer route traffic by using them.
