DeleteKnowledgeBase - Amazon Connect

DeleteKnowledgeBase

Deletes the knowledge base.

Note

When you use this API to delete an external knowledge base such as Salesforce or ServiceNow, you must also delete the Amazon AppIntegrations DataIntegration. This is because you can't reuse the DataIntegration after it's been associated with an external knowledge base. However, you can delete and recreate it. See DeleteDataIntegration and CreateDataIntegration in the Amazon AppIntegrations API Reference.
