# Command: env delete
|
|
|
|
The `terraform env delete` command is used to delete an existing environment.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Usage: `terraform env delete [NAME]`
|
|
|
|
This command will delete the specified environment.
|
|
|
|
To delete an environment, it must already exist, it must be empty, and
|
|
it must not be your current environment. If the environment
|
|
is not empty, Terraform will not allow you to delete it without the
|
|
`-force` flag.
|
|
|
|
If you delete a non-empty state (via force), then resources may become
|
|
"dangling". These are resources that Terraform no longer manages since
|
|
a state doesn't point to them, but still physically exist. This is sometimes
|
|
preferred: you want Terraform to stop managing resources. Most of the time,
|
|
however, this is not intended so Terraform protects you from doing this.
|
|
|
|
The command-line flags are all optional. The list of available flags are:
|
|
|
|
* `-force` - Delete the state even if non-empty. Defaults to false.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ terraform env delete example
|
|
Deleted environment "example"!
|
|
```
