# Delete node pool

`DELETE /api/v1/k8s/clusters/{cluster_id}/pools/{pool_id}`

Remove a pool and all its nodes. Each node is cordoned and drained (PodDisruptionBudgets are honoured) before its VM is terminated, one at a time; the operation runs asynchronously and stops — with the pool intact — if a node cannot be emptied.

The last pool of a cluster cannot be deleted, and the cluster keeps at least 2 worker nodes.
