| **To delete a device's shadow document** | |
| The following ``delete-thing-shadow`` example deletes the entire shadow document for the device named ``MyRPi``. :: | |
| aws iot-data delete-thing-shadow \ | |
| --thing-name MyRPi \ | |
| "output.txt" | |
| The command produces no output on the display, but ``output.txt`` contains information that confirms the version and timestamp of the shadow document that you deleted. :: | |
| {"version":2,"timestamp":1560270384} | |
| For more information, see `Using Shadows <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/iot/latest/developerguide/using-device-shadows.html>`__ in the *AWS IoT Developers Guide*. | |
