delete

IAM.User.delete()

Deletes the specified IAM user. Unlike the Amazon Web Services Management Console, when you delete a user programmatically, you must delete the items attached to the user manually, or the deletion fails. For more information, see Deleting an IAM user. Before attempting to delete a user, remove the following items:

• Password ( DeleteLoginProfile)

• Access keys ( DeleteAccessKey)

• Signing certificate ( DeleteSigningCertificate)

• SSH public key ( DeleteSSHPublicKey)

• Git credentials ( DeleteServiceSpecificCredential)

• Multi-factor authentication (MFA) device ( DeactivateMFADevice, DeleteVirtualMFADevice)

• Inline policies ( DeleteUserPolicy)

• Attached managed policies ( DetachUserPolicy)

• Group memberships ( RemoveUserFromGroup)
