Deleting products using the AWS CLI

In the AWS CLI console, navigate to the configuraiton folder. By default, the configuration folder path is ~/.aws/ on Linux and macOS, or %USERPROFILE%\.aws\ on Windows.

Create a sub-folder named cli using file navigation or by entering the following command in your preferred terminal:

             $ mkdir -p ~/.aws/cli
           

The resulting cli folder default path is ~/.aws/cli/ on Linux and MacOS, or %USERPROFILE%\.aws\cli on Windows.

In the new cli folder, create a text file named alias with no file extension. You can create the alias file using file navigation or by entering the following command in your preferred terminal:

              $ touch ~/.aws/cli/alias
            

Enter [toplevel] on the first line.

Save the file.

In the AWS CLI console, navigate to your AWS CLI configuration folder and open the alias file.

Enter the following code alias into the file, below the [toplevel] line:

Save the file.

Open your terminal window and run the following command

$ cat >> ~/.aws/cli/alias

Paste the alias script to the terminal window, and then press CTRL+D to exit the cat command.

In your terminal window, run the following command to call the delete product alias

$ aws servicecatalog force-delete-product {product-id}

The example below shows the force-delete-product alias command and its resulting response

              $ aws servicecatalog force-delete-product prod-123
              

              Before deleting a product, the following associated resources must be disassociated. These resources will not be deleted. This action may take some time, depending on the number of resources being disassociated.
              Portfolios:
                port-123
              Budgets:
                  budgetName
              Tag Options:
                  tag-123
              Service Actions on Provisioning Artifact:
                  pa-123:act-123
              Are you sure you want to delete prod-123? y,n 
            

Enter y to confirm you want to delete the product.
