Error: DynamoDB Delete Not Working

Answered by Rafal Wilinski
What's Causing This Error
In most cases, this error can happen when the key you specify is not available. In addition, some SDK functions cause this error when we do not pass a callback
parameter, even when it is not mandatory.
Solution: Here's How To Resolve It
As the first step, double-check whether the key you specify is accurate and exists within the database. If it is correct and you are not getting any error messages, try passing a callback
parameter. Given below is a sample code that represents this solution.
const dataRspns = await ddb.deleteItem(params, () => {}).promise();
