The CLUSCTL_RESOURCE_DELETE control code is used by the Cluster Service to notify a resource DLL that a resource is about to be deleted.
| Type: | Internal |

The Cluster Service calls your ResourceControl entry point function with the CLUSCTL_RESOURCE_DELETE control code when a resource is being deleted from the cluster. Handling this control code allows you to perform any cleanup tasks that may be necessary before the deletion occurs, such as removing temporary files. However, be careful of doing cleanup tasks for a resource if all of the nodes are not online.
Realize that when you receive this notification, the deletion is inevitable. You cannot prevent any of your resources from being deleted.
