unable to delete security groups from amazon aws

Question

I have created the three security groups for the testing purpose on amazon aws. Now I want to delete them. But, every time I try to delete them it gives me the error: Group XXXXXXX:testcluster is used by groups: XXXXXXXX:testcluster-master XXXXXXX:testcluster-zookeeper

Also, there is no option to delete multiple groups. How can I delete them?

Answer 1

The rules will reappear in the security group if you do not save any changes done. You will have to do the following:

1. Go to your security group "testcluster-zookeeper".
2. Delete all referenced rules to testcluster
3. Press the "apply rule changes" button
4. Go to testcluster-master repeat steps 2 and 3
