# Deregistering an Amazon S3 location
<a name="unregister-location"></a>

You can deregister an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) location if you no longer want it to be managed by Lake Formation. Deregistering a location does not affect Lake Formation data location permissions that are granted on that location. You can reregister a location that you deregistered, and the data location permissions remain in effect. You can use a different role to reregister the location.

**To deregister a location (console)**

1. Open the AWS Lake Formation console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/lakeformation/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/lakeformation/). Sign in as the data lake administrator or as a user with the `lakeformation:RegisterResource` IAM permission.

1. In the navigation pane, under **Administration**, choose **Data lake locations**.

1. Select a location, and on the **Actions** menu, choose **Remove**.

1. When prompted for confirmation, choose **Remove**.
