   Note

   If deletion protection is enabled for your ledger, you must first disable it before you can delete the ledger using the QLDB API.

2. If you exported journal data in the previous step and no longer need it, use the Amazon S3 console to delete your S3 bucket.

   Open the Amazon S3 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/s3/.
