To delete a trail

The following delete-trail command deletes a trail named Trail1:

aws cloudtrail delete-trail --name Trail1

Example 1: Deletes the specified trail. You will be prompted for confirmation before the command is run. To suppress confirmation, add the -Force switch parameter.

Remove-CTTrail -Name "awscloudtrail-example"

  client.delete_trail({
                        name: trail_name # required
                      })
  puts "Successfully deleted trail: #{trail_name}"
rescue StandardError => e
  puts "Got error trying to delete trail: #{trail_name}:"
  puts e
  exit 1
end
