delete

IAM.User.delete()

Deletes the specified IAM user. Unlike the Amazon Web Services Management Console, when you delete a user programmatically, you must delete the items attached to the user manually, or the deletion fails. For more information, see Deleting an IAM user. Before attempting to delete a user, remove the following items:

  • Password ( DeleteLoginProfile )
  • Access keys ( DeleteAccessKey )
  • Signing certificate ( DeleteSigningCertificate )
  • SSH public key ( DeleteSSHPublicKey )
  • Git credentials ( DeleteServiceSpecificCredential )
  • Multi-factor authentication (MFA) device ( DeactivateMFADevice, DeleteVirtualMFADevice )
  • Inline policies ( DeleteUserPolicy )
  • Attached managed policies ( DetachUserPolicy )
  • Group memberships ( RemoveUserFromGroup )
