AWS<\/strong> i.e. Amazon Web Services<\/a> is one of the popular and widely used cloud services vendors in the market right now. With the financial heft and capacities of Amazon behind it, it is no wonder that AWS has taken the cloud vendor market by storm.<\/p>\n For all the undoubted good qualities that endear it to its customers, there may very well come a time when you as a customer want to get rid of your AWS account. You might want to switch to a rival vendor whose services are cheaper or more customized to your needs. Or you might simply not need cloud services anymore, and thus want to end your relationship with AWS.<\/p>\n Either way, the process of deleting your AWS account<\/strong> is quite straightforward. However, there are still several factors you\u2019ll need to be informed about and take into consideration while going through the process of closing your account. To learn more about how you can delete your AWS account, keep reading!<\/p>\n Once you have deleted your AWS account, you can no longer use it to avail yourself of the various services offered by AWS. You can, however, still use the account during the post-closure period to access your past billing information, and also contact AWS Support. This post-closure period will last, as mentioned above, for 90 days from the date you delete your account.<\/p>\n You can reopen your account during this post-closure period by getting in touch with AWS Support. If you do end up reopening your account, you can access whatever content you didn\u2019t delete, and services you didn\u2019t terminate, before deleting your account. In such a scenario, you may be charged for the cost of running those prices. To calculate the amount you\u2019ll have to pay, you can use the AWS Pricing Calculator. You can access the said calculator at Price Calculator<\/a>.<\/p>\n Once the post-closure period of 90 days is done, your AWS account is permanently closed. You cannot reopen it anymore. Any services you didn\u2019t terminate earlier are terminated, and content you didn\u2019t delete is deleted. Please do note that you won\u2019t be able to ever create another AWS account using the same email address, alias, and other credentials as an account which you have deleted.<\/p>\n If the account you\u2019ve deleted is the same one that you were using as AWS Firewall Manager administrator, then your policy data will also be retained for the 90-day post-closure period. Once the 90 days are over, AWS will permanently delete all policy data from your account.<\/p>\n If you wish to retain the findings from the policies for longer than 90 days, you can archive the policies. As long as the policy data is retained by AWS, whenever you reopen the closed account, AWS will reassign it as the service administrator and recover the service policy data for that account.<\/p>\n There are certain facets of your relationship with AWS that you must take into consideration before you go ahead with permanently deleting your account. These facets are as follows:<\/p>\n Do note that closing your AWS account will not affect your payment methods on Amazon.com or any other Amazon websites or services.<\/p>\n If you have already deleted your account, you can file a case with AWS support either to disable automatic domain renewal or to transfer the domains to a different AWS account or domain registrar. You will not have to pay any charge to file a case regarding domain registration problems.<\/p>\n It might be that you receive an error message while closing your AWS account, that prevents you from closing the account. This error might be because of any of the following reasons:<\/p>\n If you happen to encounter such an error message in the deletion process, do get in touch with your account representative, or contact AWS Support to file a billing or account support case. They will assuredly resolve whatever issues you\u2019re facing!<\/p>\n With a staggering 33% share of the global market, AWS is the largest vendor when it comes to cloud computing services, and with good reason. The diversity and reliability of its services make it the gold standard of the cloud computing industry.<\/p>\n However, there may well come a time when for whatever reason you want to terminate your relationship with AWS. In such a scenario, AWS has made deleting your account a very straightforward procedure. You are even given the grace period of the 90-day post-closure period! If you\u2019re re-thinking your choices, you can easily reopen your old account during this period, and avail of your old data and services.<\/p>\n We hope you found this article on how to delete your AWS account<\/strong> helpful!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" AWS i.e. Amazon Web Services is one of the popular and widely used cloud services vendors in the market right now.
