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 acm list-certificates command can be used to list the Amazon Certificate Management (ACM) certificates you have created.
~]$ aws acm list-certificates
{
"CertificateSummaryList": [
{
"CertificateArn": "arn:aws:acm:us-east-1:123456789012:certificate/dd2aa938-c186-467c-becf-7ddde42b3d61",
"DomainName": "www.example.com"
},
{
"CertificateArn": "arn:aws:acm:us-east-1:123456789012:certificate/1e7f6855-b89c-482b-87f5-833d0b7f088b",
"DomainName": "freekb.link"
}
]
}
Then the aws acm delete-certificate command can be used to delete a Amazon Certificate Management (ACM) certificate using the Amazon Resource Number (ARN) of the certificate you want to delete.
aws acm delete-certificate --certificate-arn arn:aws:acm:us-east-1:123456789012:certificate/dd2aa938-c186-467c-becf-7ddde42b3d61
