# DeleteFileCache
<a name="API_DeleteFileCache"></a>

Deletes an Amazon File Cache resource. After deletion, the cache no longer exists, and its data is gone.

The `DeleteFileCache` operation returns while the cache has the `DELETING` status. You can check the cache deletion status by calling the [DescribeFileCaches](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/fsx/latest/APIReference/API_DescribeFileCaches.html) operation, which returns a list of caches in your account. If you pass the cache ID for a deleted cache, the `DescribeFileCaches` operation returns a `FileCacheNotFound` error.

**Important**  
The data in a deleted cache is also deleted and can't be recovered by any means.
