/#Action=DeleteDBCluster

http://rds.{region}.amazonaws.com/#Action=DeleteDBCluster

The DeleteDBCluster action deletes a previously provisioned DB cluster. When you delete a DB cluster, all automated backups for that DB cluster are deleted and can't be recovered. Manual DB cluster snapshots of the specified DB cluster are not deleted. If you're deleting a Multi-AZ DB cluster with read replicas, all cluster members are terminated and read replicas are promoted to standalone instances. For more information on Amazon Aurora, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide/CHAP_AuroraOverview.html"> What is Amazon Aurora?</a> in the Amazon Aurora User Guide. For more information on Multi-AZ DB clusters, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/multi-az-db-clusters-concepts.html"> Multi-AZ DB cluster deployments</a> in the Amazon RDS User Guide.
