Deleting an API Scope
You delete a scope to remove it from the API permanently.
When a scope is deleted from the API definition, API Gateway deletes the existing associations between the scope and the collection of resources, methods, or operations in the API. But, the collection of resources, methods, or operations continue to exist in the API.
