Deleting a router I/O in MediaConnect
When you no longer need a router input or output, you can delete it from your configuration. This permanently removes the I/O and frees up its resources. You might delete a router I/O when you want to switch to a different routing setup or clean up your unused resources.
Important
Deleting a router I/O is permanent and can't be undone. When you delete a router I/O, any takes using this router I/O will be removed.
Prerequisites
Before you start:
-
Make sure that the I/O you want to delete is either in
StandbyorStoppingstate. -
Make sure that the router I/O isn’t connected to a flow or a MediaLive channel.
-
For inputs: Ensure the input is not assigned to any outputs.
-
Consider documenting the I/O's configuration in case you need to recreate it later.
