Delete documents from a knowledge base directly - Amazon Bedrock

Delete documents from a knowledge base directly

To delete specific documents from your data source, send a DeleteKnowledgeBaseDocuments request with an Agents for Amazon Bedrock build-time endpoint and specify the IDs of the data source and the knowledge base it's connected to.

For each document that you want to delete, add a DocumentIdentifier item in the documentIdentifiers array in one of the following formats:

  • If the data source is a custom one, specify the ID of the document in the id field:

    { 
    "custom": { 
        "id": "string"
    },
    "dataSourceType": "CUSTOM"
}

  • If the data source is an Amazon S3 one, specify the S3 URI of the document in the uri field:

    {
    "dataSourceType": "S3",
    "s3": { 
        "uri": "string"
    }
}
Warning

Documents that you delete directly from a knowledge base connected to an S3 data source aren't deleted from the S3 bucket itself. We recommend that you delete these documents from the S3 bucket, so that they aren't reintroduced if you sync your data source.
