Hi@akhtar,

You can delete the specified IAM user. Unlike the AWS Management Console, when you delete a user programmatically, you must delete the items attached to the user manually. The following delete-user command removes the IAM user named Bob from the current account.

$ aws iam delete-user --user-name Bob
