Unable to delete AWS Glacier archive, possible due to archive_id name?

I'm on Windows 8.1 (don't ask why) and using the AWS CLI from within Powershell.

I ran a job to list all the archives for a given vault which completed successfully. I then deleted 23 of 24 of the archives successfully.

One archive I cannot delete I can't fathom out why, other than the fact that the archive-id beings with a minus sign:

aws glacier delete-archive --vault-name MY_GLACIER_VAULT_NAME --account-id - --archive-id "-lai63adP..."

Error: aws.exe: error: argument --archive-id: expected one argument

Does anyone have any suggestions, please? (other than creating a Linux VM, authenticating and then trying the same command from there).

Try replacing --archive-id "-lai63adP..." with --archive-id="-lai63adP..."

I found this at https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/issues/1135 and https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/issues/1409 and more places.
