#### [ API ]

To delete an alias of an agent, send a [DeleteAgentAlias](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/APIReference/API_agent_DeleteAgentAlias.html) request with an [Agents for Amazon Bedrock build-time endpoint](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/bedrock.html#bra-bt). By default, the `skipResourceInUseCheck` parameter is `false` and deletion is stopped if the resource is in use. If you set `skipResourceInUseCheck` to `true`, the resource will be deleted even if the resource is in use.

```
    def delete_agent_alias(self, agent_id, agent_alias_id):
        """
        Deletes an alias of an Amazon Bedrock agent.

        :param agent_id: The unique identifier of the agent that the alias belongs to.
        :param agent_alias_id: The unique identifier of the alias to delete.
        :return: The response from Amazon Bedrock Agents if successful, otherwise raises an exception.
        """

        try:
            response = self.client.delete_agent_alias(
                agentId=agent_id, agentAliasId=agent_alias_id
            )
        except ClientError as e:
            logger.error(f"Couldn't delete agent alias. {e}")
            raise
        else:
            return response
