Amazon Web Services (AWS) - Delete Secret using the AWS CLI


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
