How to delete a transcribe job in Amazon Transcribe

Question

Do I need to delete a few transcribe jobs that I created using Amazon Transcribe service?

I'm using amazon transcribe for the first time to get a text from the video, it works fine but I didn't find anything there how to delete the particular transcribe job.

Answer 1

As of 2018/10/18, you can delete Transcribe jobs.

Amazon Transcribe Supports Deletion of Completed Transcription Jobs

From AWS CLI

$ aws transcribe delete-transcription-job \
  --transcription-job-name YOUR_JOB_NAME

From Python SDK

>>> import boto3
>>> client = boto3.client('transcribe')
>>> client.delete_transcription_job(TranscriptionJobName='YOUR_JOB_NAME')

Of course, you can delete it from console :-)

Answer 2

From Step 3: Getting Started Using the Console - Amazon Transcribe:

Jobs are kept for 90 days and then deleted from the system.

In fact, there is no "Delete Job" command!
