# Simplified AMI deletion: new feature streamlines cleanup

**[cloudonaut](https://daily.dev/sources/cloudonaut)** · 2 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

AWS has introduced a new feature that allows deleting AMIs and their associated EBS snapshots in a single API call using the DeleteAssociatedSnapshots parameter. Previously, this required a two-step process that often led to orphaned snapshots and increased costs. The new approach reduces API overhead, eliminates the risk of forgotten cleanup steps, and makes AMI management more efficient for infrastructure teams.
