This is AWS WAF Classic documentation. For more information, see

in the developer guide.
For the latest version of AWS WAF, use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the
AWS WAF Developer Guide.
With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for
regional and global use.
Permanently deletes a Rule. You can't delete a Rule if it's still used
in any WebACL objects or if it still includes any predicates, such as
ByteMatchSet objects.
If you just want to remove a Rule from a WebACL, use
update_web_acl.
To permanently delete a Rule from AWS WAF, perform the following
steps:
Update the Rule to remove predicates, if any. For more
information, see update_rule.
Use get_change_token to get the change
token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of a
delete_rule request.
Submit a delete_rule request.
