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

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:

#### [ CLI ]

**AWS CLI**  
**To delete a component version**  
The following `delete-component` example deletes a Hello World component.  

```
aws greengrassv2 delete-component \
    --arn {{arn:aws:greengrass:us-west-2:123456789012:components:com.example.HelloWorld:versions:1.0.0}}
```
This command produces no output.
