Deleting Dashboards/Datasets...Do I need to delete there memberships first?

Question & Answer

We have some code that deletes dashboards or datasets. It loops through the folders/memberships…Can I just delete dashboard/dataset without deleting the membership?
I tried deleting the dashboard directly from the awscli and it does not seem to error. But I want to confirm that this is correct.

Hello @alltej hope this message finds you well

And the answer to your question is: Yes, you can delete a dashboard or dataset directly!!
When you delete a dashboard or dataset, QS automatically handles the removal of its membership from any folders it belongs to.

For example, using the AWS CLI:

Deleting a Dashboard

aws quicksight delete-dashboard --aws-account-id <account-id> --dashboard-id <dashboard-id>

Deleting a Dataset

aws quicksight delete-data-set --aws-account-id <account-id> --data-set-id <data-set-id>

These commands will delete the specified dashboard or dataset, and QuickSight will take care of cleaning up the folder memberships. You do not need to manually delete the memberships beforehand.

Please, tell me if its works to you

Correct, when you are deleting a dashboard, the details associated with the dashboard is also removed. Thanks to @lary_andr
