How do I delete an AWS Directory Service directory?

Resolution

For instructions on how to delete a directory, see Delete your directory. Before you get started, note the following:

• If you delete a Microsoft Active Directory (AD) directory or a Simple AD, all the directory data and snapshots are deleted and can't be recovered. Any instances that are joined to the directory aren't affected, but you can't log in to them using your directory credentials.
• You might need to perform additional steps to delete your directory based on the AWS applications connected to the directory (if any). This includes disabling AWS Management Console access, if you previously enabled it.
