Deletes a gateway. To specify which gateway to delete, use the Amazon
Resource Name (ARN) of the gateway in your request. The operation
deletes the gateway; however, it does not delete the gateway virtual
machine (VM) from your host computer.
After you delete a gateway, you cannot reactivate it. Completed
snapshots of the gateway volumes are not deleted upon deleting the
gateway, however, pending snapshots will not complete. After you delete
a gateway, your next step is to remove it from your environment.
You no longer pay software charges after the gateway is deleted;
however, your existing Amazon EBS snapshots persist and you will
continue to be billed for these snapshots.<U+00A0>You can choose to remove all
remaining Amazon EBS snapshots by canceling your Amazon EC2
subscription.<U+00A0> If you prefer not to cancel your Amazon EC2 subscription,
you can delete your snapshots using the Amazon EC2 console. For more
information, see the AWS Storage Gateway detail page.
