Permanently deletes a
Rule. You can't delete a
Rule if it's still used in any
WebACL objects or if it still includes any predicates, such as
ByteMatchSet objects.
If you just want to remove a Rule from a WebACL, use UpdateWebACL.
To permanently delete a Rule from AWS WAF, perform the following steps:
-
Update the Rule to remove predicates, if any. For more information, see UpdateRule.
-
Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of a DeleteRule request.
-
Submit a DeleteRule request.
