delete_function

delete_function(**kwargs)

Deletes a Lambda function. To delete a specific function version, use the Qualifier parameter. Otherwise, all versions and aliases are deleted.

To delete Lambda event source mappings that invoke a function, use DeleteEventSourceMapping. For Amazon Web Services and resources that invoke your function directly, delete the trigger in the service where you originally configured it.
