# Delete an account pool
<a name="account-pools-delete"></a>

To use the AWS CLI to delete an account pool, use the `delete-account-pool` command. 

**Important**  
This operation will delete the account pool for the domain. This operation cannot be undone.
+ Open a terminal (Linux, macOS, or Unix) or command prompt (Windows) and use the AWS CLI to run the `delete-account-pool` command with the following format, where the domain ID and account pool ID are required arguments.

  ```
  aws datazone delete-account-pool --domain-identifier DOMAIN_ID --identifier ACCOUNT_POOL_ID
  ```

  Example command:

  ```
  aws datazone delete-account-pool --domain-identifier dzd_dkqsou2EXAMPLE --identifier 5htvndro7wd89z
  ```

  This command performs the deletion and does not return any output.
