I want to delete cognito user using my nodejs application.
Example
cognitoUser.deleteUser (err, result) ->
if err
reject err
resolve result
when i try to delete cognito user error throws as follows
Error: User is not authenticated
cognitoUser.deleteUser is used by an authenticated user to delete himself but i want to delete all users using super user
Please give me some idea to solve this problem.

You can delete the unconfirmed users by calling a lambda function every 7 days using CloudWatch event trigger. In the lambda function you can use listUsers api to list all the cognito users and adminDeleteUser api to delete the unconfirmed users.
You can't change standard user pool attributes after a user pool is created. Instead, create a new user pool with the attributes that you want to require for user registration. Then, migrate existing users to the new user pool by using an AWS Lambda function as a user migration trigger.
The user name is a fixed value that users can't change. If you mark an attribute as an alias, users can sign in with that attribute in place of the user name. You can mark the email address, phone number, and preferred username attributes as aliases.
Amazon Cognito lets you easily add user sign-up and authentication to your mobile and web apps. Amazon Cognito also enables you to authenticate users through an external identity provider and provides temporary security credentials to access your app's backend resources in AWS or any service behind Amazon API Gateway.
You can use the main aws javascript SDK and call the adminDeleteUser operation. It is an authenticated operation and it will require developer credentials for you to call it.
https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-js/blob/master/apis/cognito-idp-2016-04-18.normal.json#L100
var aws = require('aws-sdk');
var CognitoIdentityServiceProvider = aws.CognitoIdentityServiceProvider;
var client = new CognitoIdentityServiceProvider({ apiVersion: '2016-04-19', region: 'us-east-1' });
//now you can call adminDeleteUser on the client object
