Hi, there is no option to delete a metric in CloudWatch: when you stop sending a metric, it will disappear from the index after 2 weeks, although the data remains stored for 15 months (and can be queried using the GetMetricData API) as per CloudWatch retention policy (see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/cloudwatch_concepts.html#Metric). May I ask why do you want to delete a metric? What is your need for it?

  • Some of the custom metrics we are not using but we are getting billed for them. So wanted to delete them. We are not using them since many days but they are still there in CLoudwatch

Thanks for the details. Please note that you are not billed for a metric when you stop sending it. You only pay for a metric at the time you send data to it. The charges you already incurred in the month remain visible in your cost explorer, but there isn't any new charges added once you stop emitting the metrics.

If you see unexpected metric charges, it is more likely related to a metric that is still being emitted (maybe in another region), please feel free to reach out to support if that is the case and you need help identifying a metric that would still be emitted unexpectedly.
