Note
If you didn't provide your own directory for Amazon WorkMail, we'll create one for you. If
you keep this existing directory when you delete the organization, you will be
charged for it unless it is being used by Amazon WorkMail, Amazon WorkDocs, or WorkSpaces. For pricing
information, see Other
directory types pricing
In order to delete the directory, it can't have any other AWS applications enabled. For more information, see Deleting a Simple AD directory or Deleting an AD Connector directory in the AWS Directory Service Administration Guide.
You may get an invalid Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) rule set error message when you attempt to delete an organization. If you receive this error, edit the Amazon SES rule in the Amazon SES console and remove the invalid rule set. The rule that you edit should have your Amazon WorkMail organization ID in the rule name. For more information about editing Amazon SES rules, see Creating receipt rules in the Amazon Simple Email Service Developer Guide.
If you need to figure out which rule set is not valid, save the rule first. An error message appears for the rule set.
