On this page
mongocli atlas commands are now deprecated because there's a new, dedicated CLI available for Atlas users. Migrate to the Atlas CLI to enjoy the same capabilities and the latest features. You can use mongocli atlas commands until April 30, 2023.Remove the specified cluster from your project.
The command prompts you to confirm the operation when you run the command without the --force option.
Deleting a cluster also deletes any backup snapshots for that cluster.
To use this command, you must authenticate with a user account or an API key that has the Project Owner role.
