# POST /#X-Amz-Target=AmazonForecast.DeleteResourceTree

`POST /#X-Amz-Target=AmazonForecast.DeleteResourceTree`

Deletes an entire resource tree. This operation will delete the parent resource and its child resources.

Child resources are resources that were created from another resource. For example, when a forecast is generated from a predictor, the forecast is the child resource and the predictor is the parent resource.

Amazon Forecast resources possess the following parent-child resource hierarchies:

*   **Dataset**: dataset import jobs
    
*   **Dataset Group**: predictors, predictor backtest export jobs, forecasts, forecast export jobs
    
*   **Predictor**: predictor backtest export jobs, forecasts, forecast export jobs
    
*   **Forecast**: forecast export jobs
    

`DeleteResourceTree` will only delete Amazon Forecast resources, and will not delete datasets or exported files stored in Amazon S3.
