# DeleteSnapshot
<a name="API_DeleteSnapshot"></a>

Deletes an enhanced snapshot. Snapshots are not scoped to an application, so you can delete a snapshot independently of the application that it was created from.

This operation is asynchronous. The response returns the snapshot ARN with the `DELETING` status. To track the progress of the operation, use `DescribeSnapshotOperation`.

You can delete a snapshot in the `READY` or `FAILED` status. If a snapshot operation, such as an export, uses the snapshot, Managed Service for Apache Flink waits for that operation to finish before it deletes the snapshot. For a snapshot in any other status, `ResourceInUseException` is returned.

   "SnapshotName": "{{string}}"
}
```

## Request Parameters
<a name="API_DeleteSnapshot_RequestParameters"></a>

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

 ** [SnapshotCreationTimestamp](#API_DeleteSnapshot_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="APIReference-DeleteSnapshot-request-SnapshotCreationTimestamp"></a>
The creation timestamp of the enhanced snapshot to delete. Use the `DescribeSnapshot` operation to get this value.  
Type: Timestamp  
Required: Yes

 ** [SnapshotName](#API_DeleteSnapshot_RequestSyntax) **   <a name="APIReference-DeleteSnapshot-request-SnapshotName"></a>
The name of the enhanced snapshot to delete.  
Type: String  
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 100.  
Pattern: `[a-zA-Z0-9_.-]+`   
Required: Yes

## Response Syntax
<a name="API_DeleteSnapshot_ResponseSyntax"></a>

```
{
   "SnapshotArn": "string",
   "SnapshotOperationId": "string",
   "SnapshotOperationStatus": "string",
   "SnapshotStatus": "string"
}
```

## Response Elements
<a name="API_DeleteSnapshot_ResponseElements"></a>

If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response.

The following data is returned in JSON format by the service.

 ** [SnapshotArn](#API_DeleteSnapshot_ResponseSyntax) **   <a name="APIReference-DeleteSnapshot-response-SnapshotArn"></a>
The ARN of the enhanced snapshot.  
Type: String  
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 2048.

 ** [SnapshotOperationId](#API_DeleteSnapshot_ResponseSyntax) **   <a name="APIReference-DeleteSnapshot-response-SnapshotOperationId"></a>
The ID of the snapshot operation. You can use this value with `DescribeSnapshotOperation` to track the progress of the operation.  
Type: String  
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 64.

 ** [SnapshotOperationStatus](#API_DeleteSnapshot_ResponseSyntax) **   <a name="APIReference-DeleteSnapshot-response-SnapshotOperationStatus"></a>
The status of the snapshot operation.  
Type: String  
Valid Values: `IN_PROGRESS | SUCCESSFUL | FAILED | CANCELLED` 

 ** [SnapshotStatus](#API_DeleteSnapshot_ResponseSyntax) **   <a name="APIReference-DeleteSnapshot-response-SnapshotStatus"></a>
The status of the snapshot. When Managed Service for Apache Flink accepts the request, the status is `DELETING`. If a snapshot operation, such as an export, uses the snapshot, the status stays `DELETING` until that operation finishes and Managed Service for Apache Flink deletes the snapshot.  
Type: String  
Valid Values: `CREATING | READY | DELETING | FAILED` 

## Errors
<a name="API_DeleteSnapshot_Errors"></a>
