# Delete

Delete a Virtual Cluster by ID and name.

Providing the Virtual Cluster name in addition to the Virtual Cluster ID is redundant, but we require it as a form of confirmation that the correct cluster is being deleted. 

:::danger
This operation is irreversible and will cause all topics and data in the deleted Virtual Cluster to be lost.
