Deletes a file system, deleting its contents. After deletion, the file system no longer exists, and its data is gone. Any existing automatic backups will also be deleted.
By default, when you delete an Amazon FSx for Windows File Server file system, a final backup is created upon deletion. This final backup is not subject to the file system’s retention policy, and must be manually deleted.
The DeleteFileSystem
action returns while the file system has the DELETING
status. You can check the file system deletion status by calling the DescribeFileSystems action, which returns a list of file systems in your account. If you pass the file system ID for a deleted file system, the DescribeFileSystems returns a FileSystemNotFound
error.
Note
Deleting an Amazon FSx for Lustre file system will fail with a 400 BadRequest if a data repository task is in a PENDING
or EXECUTING
state.
Warning
The data in a deleted file system is also deleted and can’t be recovered by any means.

--file-system-id
(string)
The ID of the file system you want to delete.
--client-request-token
(string)
A string of up to 64 ASCII characters that Amazon FSx uses to ensure idempotent deletion. This is automatically filled on your behalf when using the AWS CLI or SDK.
--windows-configuration
(structure)
The configuration object for the Microsoft Windows file system used in the
DeleteFileSystem
operation.SkipFinalBackup -> (boolean)
By default, Amazon FSx for Windows takes a final backup on your behalf when the
DeleteFileSystem
operation is invoked. Doing this helps protect you from data loss, and we highly recommend taking the final backup. If you want to skip this backup, use this flag to do so.FinalBackupTags -> (list)
A set of tags for your final backup.
(structure)
Specifies a key-value pair for a resource tag.
Key -> (string)
A value that specifies the
TagKey
, the name of the tag. Tag keys must be unique for the resource to which they are attached.Value -> (string)
A value that specifies the
TagValue
, the value assigned to the corresponding tag key. Tag values can be null and don’t have to be unique in a tag set. For example, you can have a key-value pair in a tag set offinances : April
and also ofpayroll : April
.

--lustre-configuration
(structure)
The configuration object for the Amazon FSx for Lustre file system being deleted in the
DeleteFileSystem
operation.SkipFinalBackup -> (boolean)
Set
SkipFinalBackup
to false if you want to take a final backup of the file system you are deleting. By default, Amazon FSx will not take a final backup on your behalf when theDeleteFileSystem
operation is invoked. (Default = true)FinalBackupTags -> (list)
Use if
SkipFinalBackup
is set tofalse
, and you want to apply an array of tags to the final backup. If you have set the file system propertyCopyTagsToBackups
to true, and you specify one or moreFinalBackupTags
when deleting a file system, Amazon FSx will not copy any existing file system tags to the backup.(structure)

--cli-input-json
| --cli-input-yaml
(string)
Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton
. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml
.
--generate-cli-skeleton
(string)
Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input
, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json
. Similarly, if provided yaml-input
it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml
. If provided with the value output
, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.
--cli-auto-prompt
(boolean)
Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.
