Use the knife delete
subcommand to delete an object from a Chef server. This subcommand works similar to knife cookbook delete
, knife data bag delete
, knife environment delete
, knife node delete
, and knife role delete
, but with a single verb (and a single action).
This subcommand has the following syntax:
$ knife delete [PATTERN...] (options)
Note
Review the list of common options available to this (and all) knife subcommands and plugins.
This subcommand has the following options:
--both
false
.--chef-repo-path PATH
chef_repo_path
in client.rb.--concurrency
10
.--local
false
.-r
, --[no-]recurse
--recurse
to delete directories recursively. Default: --no-recurse
.--repo-mode MODE
static
, everything
, or hosted_everything
. Use static
for just roles, environments, cookbooks, and data bags. By default, everything
and hosted_everything
are dynamically selected depending on the server type. Default: everything
/ hosted_everything
.Note
See knife.rb for more information about how to add certain knife options as settings in the knife.rb file.
