Deleting views in Resource Explorer

When you no longer need an AWS Resource Explorer view, you can delete it. You can delete views by using the AWS Management Console or by running AWS CLI commands or their equivalent API operations in an AWS SDK.

Note

You can't delete a view that is currently designated as the default for its AWS Region. To delete the view, you must remove the view as the default. To do this, you can run the DisassociateDefaultView API operation in that Region.

Minimum permissions

To run this procedure, you must have the following permissions:

• Action: resource-explorer-2:DeleteView

  Resource: The ARN of the view to delete

AWS Management Console

To delete a view

1. On the Resource Explorer console Views page, choose the option button next to the view that you want to delete.

2. Choose Actions, and then choose Delete.

3. In the confirmation dialog box, type the name of the view, and then choose Delete.

AWS CLI

To delete a view

Run the following command to delete the view with the specified Amazon Resource Name (ARN).

$ aws resource-explorer-2 delete-view \
    --view-arn arn:aws:resource-explorer-2:us-east-1:123456789012:view/MyViewName/1a2b3c4d-5d6e-7f8a-9b0c-abcd11111111
{
    "ViewArn": "arn:aws:resource-explorer-2:us-east-1:123456789012:view/MyViewName/1a2b3c4d-5d6e-7f8a-9b0c-abcd11111111"
