     1  # Delete a Pipeline
     2  
     3  When you no longer need a pipeline, you can delete it by using the
     4  `pachctl delete pipeline` command or in the UI. When
     5  you delete a pipeline, Pachyderm destroys the following components:
     6  
     7  * The pipeline Kubernetes pod
     8  * The output repository **with all data**
     9  
    10  Only authorized users can delete pipelines.
    11  
    12  When you delete a pipeline, all attributes, such as the output repository
    13  and the job history is deleted as well.
    14  You can use the `--keep repo` flag that preserves the output repo with
    15  all its branches and provenance. Only the information about the pipeline
    16  history itself is erased. Later, you can recreate the pipeline by using
    17  the `pachctl create pipeline` command. If the input repository by the same
    18  name as the pipeline exists, the pipeline will use it
    19  keeping all the commit history and provenance.
    20  
    21  When Pachyderm cannot delete a pipeline with the standard command,
    22  you might need to enforce deletion by using the `--force` flag. Because this
    23  option can break dependant components in your DAG, use this option with
    24  extreme caution.
    25  
    26  To delete all pipelines, use the `--all` flag.
    27  
    28  To delete a pipeline, run the following command:
    29  
    30  ```shell
    31  pachctl delete pipeline <pipeine_name>
    32  ```
