# DeleteChangeSet
<a name="API_DeleteChangeSet"></a>

Deletes the specified change set. Deleting change sets ensures that no one executes the wrong change set.

If the call successfully completes, CloudFormation successfully deleted the change set.

If `IncludeNestedStacks` specifies `True` during the creation of the nested change set, then `DeleteChangeSet` will delete all change sets that belong to the stacks hierarchy and will also delete all change sets for nested stacks with the status of `REVIEW_IN_PROGRESS`.
