Don't create snapshot on stack deletion in CloudFormation

Question

How can I disable snapshot creation when I delete a CloudFormation stack?

I create an Aurora DB Cluster in my stack, and when I try to delete it I often get this error and I can't completely delete the stack:

CREATE_FAILED AWS::RDS::DBClusterSnapshot Cannot create more than 100 manual snapshots

I don't want a snapshot at all.

Set "DeletionPolicy" : "Delete" for your RDSDBCluster resource in CFT.
