# Use `DeleteVpc` with an AWS SDK or CLI
<a name="example_ec2_DeleteVpc_section"></a>

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

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 examples: 
+  [Create a basic VPC](example_vpc_GettingStartedCLI_section.md) 
+  [Getting started with Amazon Neptune](example_ec2_GettingStarted_064_section.md) 
+  [VPC with IPAM](example_vpc_GettingStartedIpam_section.md) 
+  [VPC with private servers](example_vpc_GettingStartedPrivate_section.md) 
+  [Working with VPC peering connections](example_ec2_GettingStarted_015_section.md)

#### [ CLI ]

**AWS CLI**  
**To delete a VPC**  
This example deletes the specified VPC. If the command succeeds, no output is returned.  
Command:  

```
aws ec2 delete-vpc --vpc-id vpc-a01106c2
```
