Permanently deletes a RuleGroup . You can’t delete a RuleGroup if it’s still used in any WebACL objects or if it still includes any rules.
If you just want to remove a RuleGroup from a WebACL , use UpdateWebACL .
To permanently delete a RuleGroup from AWS WAF, perform the following steps:
Update the RuleGroup to remove rules, if any. For more information, see UpdateRuleGroup .
Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of a DeleteRuleGroup request.
Submit a DeleteRuleGroup request.

--rule-group-id <value>
--change-token <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]
--rule-group-id (string)
The
RuleGroupIdof the RuleGroup that you want to delete.RuleGroupIdis returned by CreateRuleGroup and by ListRuleGroups .
--change-token (string)
The value returned by the most recent call to GetChangeToken .
--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string)
Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.
--generate-cli-skeleton (string)
Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.
See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.
ChangeToken -> (string)
The
ChangeTokenthat you used to submit theDeleteRuleGrouprequest. You can also use this value to query the status of the request. For more information, see GetChangeTokenStatus .
