Deleting a filter rule for Macie findings

If you create a filter rule, you can delete it at any time. A filter rule is a set of filter criteria that you create and save to use again when you review findings on the Amazon Macie console. If you delete a filter rule, your change doesn't affect findings that match the rule's criteria. A filter rule only determines which findings appear on the console after you apply the rule.

If the command runs successfully, Macie returns an empty HTTP 200 response. Otherwise, Macie returns an HTTP 4xx or 500 response that indicates why the operation failed.
