     9  # Command: workspace delete
    10  
    11  The `terraform workspace delete` command is used to delete an existing workspace.
    12  
    13  ## Usage
    14  
    15  Usage: `terraform workspace delete [NAME]`
    16  
    17  This command will delete the specified workspace.
    18  
    19  To delete an workspace, it must already exist, it must have an empty state,
    20  and it must not be your current workspace. If the workspace state is not empty,
    21  Terraform will not allow you to delete it unless the `-force` flag is specified.
    22  
    23  If you delete a workspace with a non-empty state (via `-force`), then resources
    24  may become "dangling". These are resources that physically exist but that
    25  Terraform can no longer manage. This is sometimes preferred: you want
    26  Terraform to stop managing resources so they can be managed some other way.
    27  Most of the time, however, this is not intended and so Terraform protects you
    28  from getting into this situation.
    29  
    30  The command-line flags are all optional. The only supported flag is:
    31  
    32  * `-force` - Delete the workspace even if its state is not empty. Defaults to false.
    33  
    34  ## Example
    35  
    36  ```
    37  $ terraform workspace delete example
    38  Deleted workspace "example".
    39  ```
