Delete your Gitpod installation
If you need to delete your Gitpod installation, this guide will show you how.
This is useful in case you no longer need your Gitpod installation, or if you need to re-run the CloudFormation installation process.
Unfortunately, this is not as easy as just deleting the CloudFormation Stack in AWS, because CloudFormation creates some resources that it cannot delete itself (for example, CloudWatch log groups)
In order to completely delete a Gitpod installation that was created via a CloudFormation template, you will need to use a tool like cloud-nuke to clean up all resources in your account.
Disclaimer: By design, cloud-nuke will completely and permanently delete all the resources present in your AWS sub-account. This is highly destructive. Please use with extreme caution.
Here are the steps to follow to delete all the resources in the AWS sub-account used for your Gitpod installation:
Once this process is complete, all the resources in your AWS account will have been removed. You can then re-install Gitpod from scratch by running a new CloudFormation template, or delete the AWS sub-account if you no longer need it.
