How to Delete Distribution on Amazon S3 Bucket

A distribution is a link between an Amazon S3 bucket (the origin server) and a domain name (which Amazon CloudFront assigns). You use this new domain name in place of standard Amazon S3 references.
Delete Distribution: If you no longer want to use a particular distribution then you can delete this distribution using this feature. Before deleting the distribution ensure that the distribution is disabled because you can not delete an enabled distribution.

  6. Now click on "Delete" button to delete distribution.
