**To delete imported key material from a customer master key (CMK)**

The following ``delete-imported-key-material`` example deletes key material that had been imported into a CMK. To specify the CMK, use the ``key-id`` parameter. This example uses an key ID value, but you can use a key ID or key ARN value in this command.

Before running this command, replace the example key ID with a valid one. ::

    aws kms delete-imported-key-material \
        --key-id 1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab

This command produces no output. To verify that the key material is deleted, use the ``describe-key`` command to look for a key state of ``PendingImport`` or ``PendingDeletion``.
