End of support notice: On October 31, 2025, AWS will discontinue support for Amazon Lookout for Vision. After October 31, 2025, you will no longer be able to access the Lookout for Vision console or Lookout for Vision resources. For more information, visit this blog post.

Deleting a project

You can delete a project from the projects view page in the console or by using the DeleteProject operation.

The images referenced by a project's datasets aren't deleted.

Deleting a project (console)

Use the following procedure to delete a project. If you use the console procedure, associated model versions and datasets are deleted for you.

To delete a project

  1. Open the Amazon Lookout for Vision console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/lookoutvision/.

  2. Choose Get started.

  3. In the left navigation pane, choose Projects.

  4. On the Projects page, select the project that you want to delete.

  5. Choose Delete at the top of the page.

  6. In the Delete dialog box, enter delete to confirm that you want to delete the project.

  7. If necessary, choose to delete any associated datasets and models.

  8. Choose Delete project.

Deleting a project (SDK)

You delete an Amazon Lookout for Vision project by calling DeleteProject and supplying the name of the project that you want to delete.

Before you can delete a project, you must first delete all models in the project. For more information, see Deleting a model (SDK). You also have to delete the datasets associated with the model. For more information, see Deleting a dataset.

The project might take a few moments to delete. During that time, the status of the project is DELETING. The project is deleted if a subsequent call to DeleteProject doesn't include the project that you deleted.

To delete a project (SDK)

  1. If you haven't already done so, install and configure the AWS CLI and the AWS SDKs. For more information, see Step 4: Set up the AWS CLI and AWS SDKs.

  2. Use the following code to delete a project.

    AWS CLI

    Change the value of project-name to the name of the project that you want to delete.

    aws lookoutvision delete-project --project-name project_name \
  --profile lookoutvision-access
    Python
