DeleteDBCluster

The DeleteDBCluster action deletes a previously provisioned DB cluster. When you delete a DB cluster, all automated backups for that DB cluster are deleted and can't be recovered. Manual DB cluster snapshots of the specified DB cluster are not deleted.

Note that the DB Cluster cannot be deleted if deletion protection is enabled. To delete it, you must first set its DeletionProtection field to False.
