| **To delete a global DB cluster** | |
| The following ``delete-global-cluster`` example deletes an Aurora MySQL-compatible global DB cluster. The output shows the cluster that you're deleting, but subsequent ``describe-global-clusters`` commands don't list that DB cluster. :: | |
| aws rds delete-global-cluster \ | |
| --global-cluster-identifier myglobalcluster | |
| Output:: | |
