## NAME

pg_dropcluster - completely delete a PostgreSQL cluster

## SYNOPSIS

pg_dropcluster [--stop] cluster-version cluster-name

## DESCRIPTION

This program removes all files that belong to a given PostgreSQL cluster; that includes the data directory, the log file, and all configuration files that were created by pg_createcluster|(1). If the configuration directory (f(CW*(C`/etc/postgresql/*(C'versionf(CW*(C`/*(C'cluster) is empty after this, it is removed as well. An empty socket directory other than /var/run/postgresql or /tmp is also removed.

Usually a cluster which still has a running server attached will not be deleted. To override this, the --stop option forces a server shutdown before the files are removed.
