In the following example, the `delete-access-point` CLI command deletes the specified access point. The equivalent API command is [DeleteAccessPoint](API_DeleteAccessPoint.md). If the command is successful, the service returns an HTTP 204 response with an empty HTTP body.

```
aws efs delete-access-point --access-point-id fsap-092e9f80b3fb5e6f3 --client-token 010102020-3
