# Use `DeleteDBCluster` with an AWS SDK
<a name="neptune_example_neptune_DeleteDBCluster_section"></a>

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

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:
