= Deleting the account-wide IAM resources

[role="_abstract"]
You can delete the account-wide AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) resources. First, delete all {product-title} clusters that depend on these resources.

If you no longer need {cluster-manager-first} to install {product-title} clusters, you can delete the {cluster-manager} and user IAM roles.

[IMPORTANT]
====
The account-wide IAM roles and policies might be used by other {product-title} clusters in the same AWS account. Only remove the resources if they are not required by other clusters.

The {cluster-manager} and user IAM roles are required for other {product-title} clusters in the same AWS account. These roles enable you to install, manage, and delete clusters by using {cluster-manager}. Only remove them if you no longer need to manage {product-title} clusters in your account. If these roles are removed before cluster deletion, see "Repairing a cluster that cannot be deleted" in _Troubleshooting cluster deployments_.
