This\nrole is not bound to a namespace.\n\nDelete a Kubernetes cluster and its resources\n---------------------------------------------\n\nComplete the following steps to delete a Kubernetes cluster and its resources:\n**Important:** Your cluster's Kubernetes version must be 1.26 or greater to delete it using the GDC console or API. If your Kubernetes version is less than 1.26, you must use the `kubectl` CLI. \n\n### Console\n\n1. In the navigation menu, select **Kubernetes Engine \\\u003e Clusters**.\n\n2. In the cluster list, click the cluster that you want to delete.\n\n3. Click delete **Delete\n Cluster**.\n\n4. When prompted, type the given confirmation phrase and click **Delete** to\n delete the cluster.\n\n### API\n\n- To delete a Kubernetes cluster, remove the `Cluster` custom resource from the\n GDC instance:\n\n kubectl delete clusters.cluster.gdc.goog/\u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003eKUBERNETES_CLUSTER_NAME\u003c/var\u003e -n platform \\\n --kubeconfig \u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003eMANAGEMENT_API_SERVER\u003c/var\u003e\n\n | **Note:** The deletion can take up to 20 minutes. If you want the deletion process to run in the background, append the `--wait=false` parameter to the command.\n\n Replace the following:\n - \u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003eKUBERNETES_CLUSTER_NAME\u003c/var\u003e: The name of the cluster to delete.\n - \u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003eMANAGEMENT_API_SERVER\u003c/var\u003e: The zonal API server's kubeconfig path where the Kubernetes cluster is hosted. If you have not yet generated a kubeconfig file for the API server in your targeted zone, see [Sign in](/distributed-cloud/hosted/docs/latest/gdch/platform/pa-user/iam/sign-in#cli) for details.\n\n### Terraform\n\n- To delete a Kubernetes cluster using Terraform, run:\n\n terraform destroy -target kubernetes_manifest.cluster-create"]]
