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.
