(VBScript) DynamoDB - DeleteItem

Deletes a single item in a table by primary key. You can perform a conditional delete operation that deletes the item if it exists, or if it has an expected attribute value.

For more information, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/APIReference/API_DeleteItem.html
