This assumes you have already configured the aws command line tool. If not, check out my article on Getting Started with the AWS CLI.
The aws secretsmanager list-secrets command can be used the list the secrets you have created.
]$ aws secretsmanager list-secrets
{
"SecretList": [
{
"ARN": "arn:aws:secretsmanager:us-east-1:123456789012:secret:my-secret-tD1U2U",
"Name": "my-secret",
"Description": "my-secret",
"LastChangedDate": "2023-08-23T17:23:54.741000-05:00",
"LastAccessedDate": "2023-08-22T19:00:00-05:00",
"SecretVersionsToStages": {
"0a8aa38f-b95e-42ab-acc9-7745aa710f23": [
"AWSCURRENT"
]
},
"CreatedDate": "2023-08-23T17:23:54.435000-05:00"
}
]
}
Then the aws secretsmanager delete-secret command can be used to delete a secret.
aws secretsmanager delete-secret --secret-id arn:aws:secretsmanager:us-east-1:123456789012:secret:my-secret-tD1U2U
