# Remove One Cluster from One Project

`DELETE /api/atlas/v2/groups/{groupId}/clusters/{clusterName}`

Removes one cluster from the specified project. The cluster must have termination protection disabled in order to be deleted. This feature is not available for serverless clusters.

This endpoint can also be used on Flex clusters that were created using the [Create Cluster](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/reference/api-resources-spec/v2/#tag/Clusters/operation/createCluster) endpoint or former M2/M5 clusters that have been migrated to Flex clusters until January 2026. Please use the Delete Flex Cluster endpoint for Flex clusters instead.
