This topic describes how to delete a launch template and a template version. If you delete a launch template, all versions of the launch template are also deleted. Proceed with caution when you delete a launch template.

Delete a template version

  1. Log on to the ECS console.
  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Deployment & Elasticity > Launch Templates.
  3. In the top navigation bar, select a region.
  4. Click the ID of the template whose version you want to delete.
  5. In the Version Information section, select the template version that you want to delete and click Delete in the Actions column.
    Note Default template versions cannot be deleted. If the template version that you want to delete is the default version, you can delete it only after you set another template version as the default version. If all versions of a launch template are no longer needed, you can delete the launch template.
  6. In the Delete Version message, click OK.
