# DeleteScalingPolicy
<a name="API_DeleteScalingPolicy"></a>

Deletes the specified scaling policy for an Application Auto Scaling scalable target.

Deleting a step scaling policy deletes the underlying alarm action, but does not delete the CloudWatch alarm associated with the scaling policy, even if it no longer has an associated action.

For more information, see [Delete a step scaling policy](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/autoscaling/application/userguide/create-step-scaling-policy-cli.html#delete-step-scaling-policy) and [Delete a target tracking scaling policy](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/autoscaling/application/userguide/create-target-tracking-policy-cli.html#delete-target-tracking-policy) in the *Application Auto Scaling User Guide*.

## Response Elements
<a name="API_DeleteScalingPolicy_ResponseElements"></a>

If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response with an empty HTTP body.

## Errors
<a name="API_DeleteScalingPolicy_Errors"></a>

For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see [Common Error Types](CommonErrors.md).

 ** ConcurrentUpdateException **   
Concurrent updates caused an exception, for example, if you request an update to an Application Auto Scaling resource that already has a pending update.  
HTTP Status Code: 400

 ** InternalServiceException **   
The service encountered an internal error.  
HTTP Status Code: 400

 ** ObjectNotFoundException **   
The specified object could not be found. For any operation that depends on the existence of a scalable target, this exception is thrown if the scalable target with the specified service namespace, resource ID, and scalable dimension does not exist. For any operation that deletes or deregisters a resource, this exception is thrown if the resource cannot be found.  
HTTP Status Code: 400

 ** ValidationException **   
An exception was thrown for a validation issue. Review the available parameters for the API request.  
HTTP Status Code: 400

## Examples
<a name="API_DeleteScalingPolicy_Examples"></a>

If you plan to create requests manually, you must replace the Authorization header contents in the examples (`AUTHPARAMS`) with a signature. For more information, see [Signing AWS API requests](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/reference_aws-signing.html) in the *IAM User Guide*. If you plan to use the [AWS CLI](http://aws.amazon.com/cli/) or one of the [AWS SDKs](http://aws.amazon.com/tools/), these tools sign the requests for you.

### Example
<a name="API_DeleteScalingPolicy_Example_1"></a>

The following example deletes a scaling policy for the Amazon ECS service `web-app` running in the `default` cluster.
