| description | The `terraform destroy` command is used to destroy the Terraform-managed infrastructure. |
The terraform destroy command is used to destroy the Terraform-managed
infrastructure.
Usage: terraform destroy [options] [dir]
Infrastructure managed by Terraform will be destroyed. This will ask for confirmation before destroying.
This command accepts all the arguments and flags that the apply command accepts, with the exception of a plan file argument.
If -force is set, then the destroy confirmation will not be shown.
The -target flag, instead of affecting "dependencies" will instead also
destroy any resources that depend on the target(s) specified.
The behavior of any terraform destroy command can be previewed at any time
with an equivalent terraform plan -destroy command.
