How to delete an aws cloudfront Origin Access Identity

In the AWS Console > CloudFront Distributions,

I click on my Distribution ID, and I go to the Origins tab, and I edit the origin.

I set the Restrict Bucket Access to Yes.

Here, I can create a new identity, or select an existing identity.

So, the question is, how can I delete an existing identity?

Deleting identities is done from the main CloudFront interface rather than the distribution level.

Go to the CloudFront console, click the 'Origin Access Identity' link in the left hand nav, and provided it is not currently associated with any distributions, you'll be able to delete it from there.
