# DeleteGlobalReplicationGroup
<a name="API_DeleteGlobalReplicationGroup"></a>

Deleting a Global datastore is a two-step process: 
+ First, you must [DisassociateGlobalReplicationGroup](API_DisassociateGlobalReplicationGroup.md) to remove the secondary clusters in the Global datastore.
+ Once the Global datastore contains only the primary cluster, you can use the `DeleteGlobalReplicationGroup` API to delete the Global datastore while retainining the primary cluster using `RetainPrimaryReplicationGroup=true`.

Since the Global Datastore has only a primary cluster, you can delete the Global Datastore while retaining the primary by setting `RetainPrimaryReplicationGroup=true`. The primary cluster is never deleted when deleting a Global Datastore. It can only be deleted when it no longer is associated with any Global Datastore.

When you receive a successful response from this operation, Amazon ElastiCache immediately begins deleting the selected resources; you cannot cancel or revert this operation.

## Request Parameters
<a name="API_DeleteGlobalReplicationGroup_RequestParameters"></a>

 For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see [Common Parameters](CommonParameters.md).

 ** GlobalReplicationGroupId **   
The name of the Global datastore  
Type: String  
Required: Yes

 ** RetainPrimaryReplicationGroup **   
The primary replication group is retained as a standalone replication group.   
Type: Boolean  
Required: Yes

## Response Elements
<a name="API_DeleteGlobalReplicationGroup_ResponseElements"></a>

The following element is returned by the service.

 ** GlobalReplicationGroup **   
Consists of a primary cluster that accepts writes and an associated secondary cluster that resides in a different Amazon region. The secondary cluster accepts only reads. The primary cluster automatically replicates updates to the secondary cluster.  
+ The **GlobalReplicationGroupIdSuffix** represents the name of the Global datastore, which is what you use to associate a secondary cluster.
Type: [GlobalReplicationGroup](API_GlobalReplicationGroup.md) object
