# PostgreSQL database to Amazon RDS post-migration clean-up
<a name="dm-postgresql-next-steps"></a>

After you migrate your PostgreSQL database to Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL using homogeneous data migrations in AWS DMS, you can explore several other resources:
+ Use DMS Fleet Advisor to inventory your source databases and discover other candidates to move to the cloud. For more information, see the [DMS Fleet Advisor User Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/dms/latest/userguide/CHAP_FleetAdvisor.html).
+ Learn more about Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL. For more information, see the [Amazon Relational Database Service User Guide](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/Welcome.html).

After you’ve finished using your migration project, clean up your resources.

 **To clean up your AWS DMS resources** 
+ Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the AWS DMS console.
+ In the navigation pane, choose **Migration projects**, and choose `dm-project`. On the **Data migrations** tab, choose **Stop** for **Actions**.
+ After AWS DMS stops your data migration, choose **Delete** for **Actions** and confirm your choice.
+ Choose **Migration projects**, and choose `dm-project`. Choose **Delete** for **Actions** and confirm your choice.
+ Choose **Instance profiles**, and choose `dm-instance-profile`. Choose **Delete** and confirm your choice.
+ Choose **Data providers**, and then select the check boxes for `dm-postgresql-source-provider` and `dm-postgresql-target-provider`. Choose **Delete** and confirm your choice.
+ Delete your database users that you created in [Step 2](dm-postgresql-step-2.md) and [Step 3](dm-postgresql-step-3.md).
+ Drop the replication slot and the publisher in the source database by using the following code example.

  ```
  SELECT pg_drop_replication_slot('migration_subscriber_{ARN}');
  DROP PUBLICATION publication_{ARN};
  ```

Also, make sure that you delete your database secrets in AWS Secrets Manager, IAM role, IAM policy, and the virtual private cloud (VPC).
