Permanently deletes a ByteMatchSet. You can’t delete a ByteMatchSet if it’s still used in any Rules or if it still includes any ByteMatchTuple objects (any filters).

If you just want to remove a ByteMatchSet from a Rule, use UpdateRule.

To permanently delete a ByteMatchSet, perform the following steps:

  • Update the ByteMatchSet to remove filters, if any. For more information, see UpdateByteMatchSet.

  • Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of a DeleteByteMatchSet request.

  • Submit a DeleteByteMatchSet request.
