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 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
404 FileSystemNotFound
error.
This operation requires permissions for the
elasticfilesystem:DeleteFileSystem
action.
