Terraform destroy --help

Destroy Terraform-managed infrastructure.

• Usage: terraform destroy [options] [DIR]

Options:

-backup=path           Path to backup the existing state file before
                        modifying. Defaults to the "-state-out" path with
                        ".backup" extension. Set to "-" to disable backup.

 -auto-approve          Skip interactive approval before destroying.

 -force                 Deprecated: same as auto-approve.

 -lock=true             Lock the state file when locking is supported.

 -lock-timeout=0s       Duration to retry a state lock.

 -no-color              If specified, output won't contain any color.

 -parallelism=n         Limit the number of concurrent operations.
                        Defaults to 10.

 -refresh=true          Update state prior to checking for differences. This
                        has no effect if a plan file is given to apply.

 -state=path            Path to read and save state (unless state-out
                        is specified). Defaults to "terraform.tfstate".

 -state-out=path        Path to write state to that is different than
                        "-state". This can be used to preserve the old
                        state.

 -target=resource       Resource to target. Operation will be limited to this
                        resource and its dependencies. This flag can be used
                        multiple times.

 -var 'foo=bar'         Set a variable in the Terraform configuration. This
                        flag can be set multiple times.

 -var-file=foo          Set variables in the Terraform configuration from
                        a file. If "terraform.tfvars" or any ".auto.tfvars"
                        files are present, they will be automatically loaded.
