AI-proposed · claude code · not human-reviewed · draft · May 24, 2026 description in en

Description

Remove all resources from an AWS account.

Be aware that aws-nuke is a very destructive tool, hence be very careful while using it. Otherwise can cause production data deletion.

As an advise try to not run this application on any AWS account, where cannot be afforded to lose all resources. By default aws-nuke only lists all resources to delete. It's necessary to add --no-dry-run to actually delete resources.

This tool retries deleting all resources until all specified ones are deleted or until there are only resources with errors left. There are two ways to authenticate aws-nuke, static credentials and profiles.
