For more information, visit the [blog post](https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/messaging-and-targeting/update-on-support-for-amazon-chime/). **Note:** This does not impact the availability of the [Amazon Chime SDK service](https://aws.amazon.com/chime/chime-sdk/).

# DeleteAccount
<a name="API_DeleteAccount"></a>

Deletes the specified Amazon Chime account. You must suspend all users before deleting `Team` account. You can use the [BatchSuspendUser](API_BatchSuspendUser.md) action to dodo.

For `EnterpriseLWA` and `EnterpriseAD` accounts, you must release the claimed domains for your Amazon Chime account before deletion. As soon as you release the domain, all users under that account are suspended.

Deleted accounts appear in your `Disabled` accounts list for 90 days. To restore deleted account from your `Disabled` accounts list, you must contact AWS Support.

After 90 days, deleted accounts are permanently removed from your `Disabled` accounts list.

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

In the following example or examples, the Authorization header contents( `AUTHPARAMS` ) must be replaced with an AWS Signature Version 4 signature. For more information about creating these signatures, see [Signature Version 4 Signing Process](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/signature-version-4.html) in the *AWS General Reference*.

You only need to learn how to sign HTTP requests if you intend to manually create them. When you use the [AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI)](http://aws.amazon.com/cli/) or one of the [AWS SDKs](http://aws.amazon.com/tools/) to make requests to AWS, these tools automatically sign the requests for you with the access key that you specify when you configure the tools. When you use these tools, you don't need to learn how to sign requests yourself.
