Deleting a dataset to delete all of its data - Amazon Personalize
Deleting a dataset (console)Deleting a dataset (AWS CLI)Deleting a dataset (AWS SDKs)

To delete all of the data in a dataset, you delete the dataset. You can delete a dataset with the Amazon Personalize console, AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI), or AWS SDKs. Before you delete a dataset, note the following:

  • You must delete all filters before deleting any dataset.

  • If you created an event tracker, you must delete it before you delete an Item interactions dataset.

  • If you created a metric attribution that references the dataset, you must delete the metric attribution first.

  • If you use User-Personalization-v2, User-Personalization, or Next-Best-Action recipes or Top picks for you and Recommended for you use cases, deleting a dataset halts automatic updates for any associated solution versions or recommenders.

  • No associated DatasetImportJob can have a status of CREATE PENDING or IN PROGRESS.

  • No associated BatchInferenceJob or BatchSegmentJob can have a status of CREATE PENDING or IN PROGRESS.

  • No associated Recommender, SolutionVersion can have a status of CREATE PENDING or IN PROGRESS.

  • No associated Campaign can have a status of CREATE PENDING or IN PROGRESS or ACTIVE.
