# Use `DeleteMountTarget` with a CLI
<a name="efs_example_efs_DeleteMountTarget_section"></a>

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

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

**AWS CLI**  
**To delete a mount target**  
The following `delete-mount-target` example deletes the specified mount target.  

```
aws efs delete-mount-target \
    --mount-target-id fsmt-f9a14450
```
This command produces no output.  
For more information, see [Creating mount targets](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/efs/latest/ug/accessing-fs.html) in the *Amazon Elastic File System User Guide*.  
+  For API details, see [DeleteMountTarget](https://awscli.amazonaws.com/v2/documentation/api/latest/reference/efs/delete-mount-target.html) in *AWS CLI Command Reference*. 

------
#### [ PowerShell ]

**Tools for PowerShell V4**  
**Example 1: Deletes the specified mount target. You are prompted for confirmation before the operation proceeds. To suppress the prompt use the `-Force` switch. Note that this operation forcibly breaks any mounts of the file system via the target - you may want to consider unmounting the file system before running this command, if feasible.**  

```
Remove-EFSMountTarget -MountTargetId fsmt-1a2b3c4d
```

**Tools for PowerShell V5**  
**Example 1: Deletes the specified mount target. You are prompted for confirmation before the operation proceeds. To suppress the prompt use the `-Force` switch. Note that this operation forcibly breaks any mounts of the file system via the target - you may want to consider unmounting the file system before running this command, if feasible.**
