# Use `DeleteVault` with an AWS SDK or CLI
<a name="glacier_example_glacier_DeleteVault_section"></a>

The following code examples show how to use `DeleteVault`.

Action examples are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. You can see this action in context in the following code example: 
+  [Get archive content and delete the archive](glacier_example_glacier_Usage_RetrieveDelete_section.md) 

------
#### [ CLI ]

**AWS CLI**  
The following command deletes a vault named `my-vault`:  

```
aws glacier delete-vault --vault-name {{my-vault}} {{-}}-account-id -
```
This command does not produce any output. Amazon Glacier requires an account ID argument when performing operations, but you can use a hyphen to specify the in-use account.
