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.
