opencenter cluster destroy

Destroy a cluster

Synopsis

Destroy a cluster’s infrastructure and optionally remove its configuration files.

This command first destroys the cloud infrastructure (via OpenTofu for supported providers), then optionally removes local configuration files and GitOps directories.

By default, local files are preserved after infrastructure destruction to allow for inspection, debugging, or recovery. Use --remove-files to also delete local files.

The cluster name can be specified as 'cluster' or 'organization/cluster'. If no cluster name is provided, the active cluster will be destroyed.

If an existing lock is found, you will be prompted to break it. Use --break-lock to automatically break any existing lock without prompting.
