#  delete-change-set  Â¶

##  Description  Â¶

Deletes the specified change set. Deleting change sets ensures that no one
executes the wrong change set.

If the call successfully completes, CloudFormation successfully deleted the
change set.

If ` IncludeNestedStacks  ` specifies ` True  ` during the creation of the
nested change set, then ` DeleteChangeSet  ` will delete all change sets that
belong to the stacks hierarchy and will also delete all change sets for nested
stacks with the status of ` REVIEW_IN_PROGRESS  ` .

It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with ` --cli-input-yaml  ` .
