Tutorial: Deleting MRSC global tables in DynamoDB

Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the DynamoDB console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/dynamodb/.

From the top navigation pane, choose a Region containing an MRSC global table. For example, choose us-east-2.

On the Tables page, choose the MRSC global table.

Choose the Global tables tab, then choose Delete replicas.

On the confirmation dialog that appears, type confirm.

Choose Delete.

Delete two replica tables from the MRSC global table.

aws dynamodb update-table \
    --table-name MusicTable \
    --replica-updates '[{"Delete": {"RegionName": "us-east-1"}}, {"Delete": {"RegionName": "us-west-2"}}]' \
    --region us-east-2

Verify that the remaining single-Region table is in the ACTIVE state, and doesn't have any associated replica tables.

aws dynamodb describe-table \
    --table-name MusicTable \
    --region us-east-2

            {

                "AttributeType": "S"
            }
        ],
        "TableName": "MusicTable",
        "TableStatus": "ACTIVE",
        ...
    }
}
