Deleting multiplexes, programs, and channels
In MediaLive, 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 In MediaLive, the multiplex must be idle, and all of its programs must be empty (they must not have associated channels.)
