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 (/etc/postgresql/version/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.
