How do you delete an AWS EMR Cluster?


I've been playing around with AWS EMR and I now have a few clusters that are terminated and that I want to delete:

However, there is no obvious option to delete them. How do I make them go away?


Solution

  • They stay around for 60 days which is now documented here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/emr/latest/ManagementGuide/emr-manage-view-clusters.html

    Amazon EMR saves metadata about terminated clusters for your reference for two months, after which the metadata is deleted.
