     9  # Command: destroy
    10  
    11  The `terraform destroy` command is used to destroy the Terraform-managed
    12  infrastructure.
    13  
    14  ## Usage
    15  
    16  Usage: `terraform destroy [options] [dir]`
    17  
    18  Infrastructure managed by Terraform will be destroyed. This will ask for
    19  confirmation before destroying.
    20  
    21  This command accepts all the arguments and flags that the [apply
    22  command](/docs/commands/apply.html) accepts, with the exception of a plan file
    23  argument.
    24  
    25  If `-force` is set, then the destroy confirmation will not be shown.
    26  
    27  The `-target` flag, instead of affecting "dependencies" will instead also
    28  destroy any resources that _depend on_ the target(s) specified.
    29  
    30  The behavior of any `terraform destroy` command can be previewed at any time
    31  with an equivalent `terraform plan -destroy` command.
