**Example 1: To delete a namespace**

The following ``delete-namespace`` example deletes a namespace. ::

    aws servicediscovery delete-namespace \
        --id ns-abcd1234xmpl5678

Output::

    {
        "OperationId": "abcd1234-5678-90ab-cdef-xmpl12345678"
    }

To confirm that the operation succeeded, you can run ``get-operation``. For more information, see `get-operation <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/servicediscovery/get-operation.html>`__ .

**Example 2: To delete a namespace using namespace ARN**

The following ``delete-namespace`` example deletes a namespace using its ARN. ::
