NAME

gcloud alpha compute disks delete - delete a Compute Engine disk

SYNOPSIS

gcloud alpha compute disks delete DISK_NAME [DISK_NAME ...] [--region=REGION | --zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION

(ALPHA) gcloud alpha compute disks delete deletes a Compute Engine disk. A disk can be deleted only if it is not attached to any virtual machine instances.

EXAMPLES

To delete the disk 'my-disk' in zone 'us-east1-a', run:

$ gcloud alpha compute disks delete my-disk --zone=us-east1-a

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

DISK_NAME [DISK_NAME ...]

Names of the disks to delete.

FLAGS

At most one of these can be specified:
--region=REGION

Region of the disks to delete. If not specified, you might be prompted to select a region (interactive mode only).

To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the compute/region property:

$ gcloud config set compute/region REGION

A list of regions can be fetched by running:

$ gcloud compute regions list

To unset the property, run:

$ gcloud config unset compute/region

Alternatively, the region can be stored in the environment variable CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_REGION.

--zone=ZONE

Zone of the disks to delete. If not specified and the compute/zone property isn't set, you might be prompted to select a zone (interactive mode only).

To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the compute/zone property:

$ gcloud config set compute/zone ZONE

A list of zones can be fetched by running:

$ gcloud compute zones list

To unset the property, run:

$ gcloud config unset compute/zone

Alternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variable CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE.

GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS

These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account, --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format, --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet, --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity.

Run $ gcloud help for details.

NOTES

This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early access allowlist. These variants are also available:

$ gcloud compute disks delete

$ gcloud beta compute disks delete
