You can delete a scaling policy using the AWS Management Console, the AWS CLI, or the Application Auto Scaling API.

**To delete an Auto Scaling policy for an ElastiCache for Redis OSS cluster**

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon ElastiCache console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/elasticache/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/elasticache/).

1. In the navigation pane, choose **Valkey** or **Redis OSS**. 

1. Choose the cluster whose Auto Scaling policy you want to edit (choose the cluster name, not the button to its left). 

1. Choose the **Auto Scaling policies** tab. 

1. Under **Scaling policies**, choose the Auto Scaling policy, and then choose **Delete**. 

## Deleting a scaling policy using the AWS CLI
<a name="AutoScaling-Scaling-Deleting-a-Scaling-Policy-CLI"></a>

To delete a scaling policy to your ElastiCache for Valkey and Redis OSS cluster, use the [delete-scaling-policy](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/autoscaling/delete-scaling-policy.html) AWS CLI command with the following parameters: 
+ **--policy-name** – The name of the scaling policy. 
+ **--resource-id** – The resource identifier. For this parameter, the resource type is `ReplicationGroup` and the unique identifier is the name of the cluster, for example `replication-group/myscalablecluster`. 
+ **--service-namespace** – Set this value to `elasticache`. 
+ **--scalable-dimension** – Set this value to `elasticache:replication-group:NodeGroups`. 

In the following example, you delete a target-tracking scaling policy named `myscalablepolicy` from a cluster named `myscalablecluster`. 

For Linux, macOS, or Unix:

```
aws application-autoscaling delete-scaling-policy \
    --policy-name myscalablepolicy \
    --resource-id replication-group/myscalablecluster \
    --service-namespace elasticache \
    --scalable-dimension elasticache:replication-group:NodeGroups
```

For Windows:

```
aws application-autoscaling delete-scaling-policy ^
    --policy-name myscalablepolicy ^
    --resource-id replication-group/myscalablecluster ^
    --service-namespace elasticache ^
    --scalable-dimension elasticache:replication-group:NodeGroups
```
