need help with workspaces

Question

Thank you in advance!  
  
I have a workspace and a worker who logs in every day.  
  
I need to retain the workspace but remove access from the worker.  The only option I see is to delete the instance, however I have saved work on the instance and configurations I dont want to delete and have to re-do  
  
I dont see a way to change/remove user or change password.  So not sure how to accomplish removing the user without deleting the workstation ??

Answer

Hey  alwayslearning123

Unfortunately, you cannot retain your Workspace because before removing a user from a WorkSpace, you must delete the WorkSpace assigned to that user first.\[1]  
  
But you can create a new WorkSpace instance and still keep your old data.Amazon WorkSpaces regularly takes snapshots of both root and user volumes when your WorkSpaces are healthy\[2]. You can use these snapshots to recreate your new WorkSpace.\[2]  
  
Please also note that deleting a WorkSpace is a permanent action and cannot be undone. The WorkSpace user's data does not persist and is destroyed. If you need further  help with backing up user data, contact AWS Support.  
  
I  hope this answers your question.
