Delete File System
efs_delete_file_system | R Documentation |
Deletes a file system, permanently severing access to its contents¶
Description¶
Deletes a file system, permanently severing access to its contents. Upon return, the file system no longer exists and you can't access any contents of the deleted file system.
You need to manually delete mount targets attached to a file system before you can delete an EFS file system. This step is performed for you when you use the Amazon Web Services console to delete a file system.
You cannot delete a file system that is part of an EFS Replication configuration. You need to delete the replication configuration first.
You can't delete a file system that is in use. That is, if the file
system has any mount targets, you must first delete them. For more
information, see describe_mount_targets
and delete_mount_target
.
The delete_file_system
call returns while the file system state is
still deleting
. You can check the file system deletion status by
calling the describe_file_systems
operation, which returns a list of
file systems in your account. If you pass file system ID or creation
token for the deleted file system, the describe_file_systems
returns a
â 404 FileSystemNotFoundâ
error.
This operation requires permissions for the
elasticfilesystem:DeleteFileSystem
action.
Usage¶
Arguments¶
FileSystemId
[required] The ID of the file system you want to delete.
Value¶
An empty list.
