## Teardown of CloudFormation deployment (Automated)
<a name="teardown-of-cloudformation-deployment-automated"></a>

**Note**  
 **Deleting the CloudFormation template means that CUR data will not flow to your destination (data collection) account anymore. However, historical data will be retained in your destination account. To delete the CURs, go to the \$1\$1resource-prefix\$1-\$1\$1payer-account-id\$1-shared S3 Bucket and manually delete the account data. Note that if you deployed following best practices with a separate Destination account hosting the dashboards, you should also delete the CID-CUR-Replication Stack in your Management/Payer/Source account.**
