Deletes a certificate and its associated private key¶

Description¶

Deletes a certificate and its associated private key. If this action succeeds, the certificate is not available for use by Amazon Web Services services integrated with ACM. Deleting a certificate is eventually consistent. The may be a short delay before the certificate no longer appears in the list that can be displayed by calling the list_certificates action or be retrieved by calling the get_certificate action.

You cannot delete an ACM certificate that is being used by another Amazon Web Services service. To delete a certificate that is in use, you must first remove the certificate association using the console or the CLI for the associated service.

Deleting a certificate issued by a private certificate authority (CA) has no effect on the CA. You will continue to be charged for the CA until it is deleted. For more information, see Deleting Your Private CA in the Private Certificate Authority User Guide.

You cannot delete a certificate with a CertificateKeyPairOrigin of ACME. ACM automatically deletes these certificates 1 year after they expire.
