After September 15, 2025, you will no longer be able to access the Amazon Lex V1 console or Amazon Lex V1 resources.

# DeleteBot
<a name="API_DeleteBot"></a>

Deletes all versions of the bot, including the `$LATEST` version. To delete a specific version of the bot, use the [DeleteBotVersion](API_DeleteBotVersion.md) operation. The `DeleteBot` operation doesn't immediately remove the bot schema. Instead, it is marked for deletion and removed later.

Amazon Lex stores utterances indefinitely for improving the ability of your bot to respond to user inputs. These utterances are not removed when the bot is deleted. To remove the utterances, use the [DeleteUtterances](API_DeleteUtterances.md) operation.

If a bot has an alias, you can't delete it. Instead, the `DeleteBot` operation returns a `ResourceInUseException` exception that includes a reference to the alias that refers to the bot. To remove the reference to the bot, delete the alias. If you get the same exception again, delete the referring alias until the `DeleteBot` operation is successful.

This operation requires permissions for the `lex:DeleteBot` action.
