Deletes a custom key store. This operation does not affect any backing elements of the custom key store. It does not delete the CloudHSM cluster that is associated with an CloudHSM key store, or affect any users or keys in the cluster. For an external key store, it does not affect the external key store proxy, external key manager, or any external keys.
This operation is part of the custom key stores feature in KMS, which combines the convenience and extensive integration of KMS with the isolation and control of a key store that you own and manage.
The custom key store that you delete cannot contain any KMS keys. Before deleting the key store, verify that you will never need to use any of the KMS keys in the key store for any cryptographic operations. Then, use ScheduleKeyDeletion to delete the KMS keys from the key store. After the required waiting period expires and all KMS keys are deleted from the custom key store, use DisconnectCustomKeyStore to disconnect the key store from KMS. Then, you can delete the custom key store.
For keys in an CloudHSM key store, the ScheduleKeyDeletion operation makes
a best effort to delete the key material from the associated cluster. However, you
might need to manually delete
the orphaned key material from the cluster and its backups. KMS never creates,
manages, or deletes cryptographic keys in the external key manager associated with
an external key store. You must manage them using your external key manager tools.
Instead of deleting the custom key store, consider using the DisconnectCustomKeyStore operation to disconnect the custom key store from its backing key store. While the key store is disconnected, you cannot create or use the KMS keys in the key store. But, you do not need to delete KMS keys and you can reconnect a disconnected custom key store at any time.
If the operation succeeds, it returns a JSON object with no properties.
Cross-account use: No. You cannot perform this operation on a custom key store in a different Amazon Web Services account.
Required permissions: kms:DeleteCustomKeyStore (IAM policy)

| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| CustomKeyStoreHasCMKsException | The request was rejected because the custom key store contains KMS keys. After verifying that you do not need to use the KMS keys, use the ScheduleKeyDeletion operation to delete the KMS keys. After they are deleted, you can delete the custom key store. |
| CustomKeyStoreInvalidStateException | The request was rejected because of the ConnectionState of the custom key store. To get the ConnectionState of a custom key store, use the DescribeCustomKeyStores operation. This exception is thrown under the following conditions: You requested the ConnectCustomKeyStore operation on a custom key store with a ConnectionState of DISCONNECTING or FAILED. This operation is valid for all other ConnectionState values. To reconnect a custom key store in a FAILED state, disconnect it (DisconnectCustomKeyStore), then connect it (ConnectCustomKeyStore). You requested the CreateKey operation in a custom key store that is not connected. This operations is valid only when the custom key store ConnectionState is CONNECTED. You requested the DisconnectCustomKeyStore operation on a custom key store with a ConnectionState of DISCONNECTING or DISCONNECTED. This operation is valid for all other ConnectionState values. You requested the UpdateCustomKeyStore or DeleteCustomKeyStore operation on a custom key store that is not disconnected. This operation is valid only when the custom key store ConnectionState is DISCONNECTED. You requested the GenerateRandom operation in an CloudHSM key store that is not connected. This operation is valid only when the CloudHSM key store ConnectionState is CONNECTED. |
| CustomKeyStoreNotFoundException | The request was rejected because KMS cannot find a custom key store with the specified key store name or ID. |
| KMSInternalException | The request was rejected because an internal exception occurred. The request can be retried. |
This example deletes a custom key store from AWS KMS. This operation does not affect the backing key store, such as a CloudHSM cluster, external key store proxy, or your external key manager. This operation doesn't return any data. To verify that the operation was successful, use the DescribeCustomKeyStores operation.
var client = new AmazonKeyManagementServiceClient();
var response = client.DeleteCustomKeyStore(new DeleteCustomKeyStoreRequest
{
CustomKeyStoreId = "cks-1234567890abcdef0" // The ID of the custom key store to be deleted.
});
