To delete an identity

The following example uses the delete-identity command to delete an identity from the list of identities verified with Amazon SES:

aws ses delete-identity --identity user@example.com

For more information about verified identities, see Verifying Email Addresses and Domains in Amazon SES in the Amazon Simple Email Service Developer Guide.

import { DeleteIdentityCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-ses";
import { sesClient } from "./libs/sesClient.js";

const IDENTITY_EMAIL = "fake@example.com";

const createDeleteIdentityCommand = (identityName) => {
  return new DeleteIdentityCommand({
    Identity: identityName,
  });
};

const run = async () => {
  const deleteIdentityCommand = createDeleteIdentityCommand(IDENTITY_EMAIL);

  try {
    return await sesClient.send(deleteIdentityCommand);
  } catch (err) {
    console.log("Failed to delete identity.", err);
    return err;
  }
