aws-cognito-idp: Delete a user from a specific pool.
$ aws cognito-idp admin-delete-user --username ${username} --user-pool-id ${user_pool_id}
try on your machine

The command "aws cognito-idp admin-delete-user" is a command in the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) for Amazon Cognito's user pools. It allows an administrator to delete a user from a user pool programmatically.

Here's a breakdown of the components of the command:

  • "aws cognito-idp" - This prefix specifies the AWS service (Amazon Cognito) and its module (Identity Provider, or "cognito-idp"). All commands related to Amazon Cognito user pools are under this module.
  • "admin-delete-user" - This is the specific command within the "cognito-idp" module used to delete a user from a user pool as an administrator.
  • "--username ${username}" - This is a flag/option that specifies the username of the user to be deleted. "${username}" suggests that the command will make use of a variable for the actual username. You would need to replace "${username}" with the actual username you want to delete.
  • "--user-pool-id ${user_pool_id}" - This flag/option is used to specify the ID of the user pool from which the user should be deleted. Similar to the previous flag, "${user_pool_id}" indicates the usage of a variable. You would need to replace "${user_pool_id}" with the actual ID of the user pool.

Overall, this command is used to delete a user from an Amazon Cognito user pool by specifying the username and user pool ID. Note that this requires appropriate administrator privileges.
