I am trying to delete a subscription to an SNS topic (specifically an email address) that is unconfirmed, but the AWS console won't let me. It will let me delete subscriptions that are confirmed however. Any ideas?
Sign in to the Amazon SQS console . Select the queue that has a pending subscription to the topic. Choose Queue Actions, View/Delete Messages and then choose Start Polling for Messages. A message with the subscription confirmation is received in the queue.
Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) and Amazon SNS are both messaging services within AWS, which provide different benefits for developers. Amazon SNS allows applications to send time-critical messages to multiple subscribers through a “push” mechanism, eliminating the need to periodically check or “poll” for updates.
The AWS Management Console now provides full support for the Amazon Simple Notification Service. You can create and subscribe to topics, and you can publish notifications to topics.
According to SNS architecture and design:
If subscription is APPROVED so no matter whether there is topic associated to it or not. User will be able to delete the subscription.)
If subscription is PENDING so no matter whether there is topic associated to it or not. Amazon will delete automatically the subscription after 3 days of creation.
See the FAQ for more info (scroll down to the question titled "How long will subscription requests remain pending, while waiting to be confirmed?")
