AWS Config now enables you to delete your data by specifying a retention period for your configuration items. When you specify a retention period, AWS Config retains your configuration items for that specified period. You can choose a period between a minimum of 30 days and a maximum of 7 years (2,557 days). AWS Config automatically deletes configuration items older than your specified retention period. If you don’t specify a retention period, AWS Config continues to store configuration items for the default period of 7 years (2,557 days).
