Usage: terraform destroy [options] [DIR]
Options:
-backup=path Path to backup the existing state file before
modifying. Defaults to the "-state-out" path with
".backup" extension. Set to "-" to disable backup.
-auto-approve Skip interactive approval before destroying.
-force Deprecated: same as auto-approve.
-lock=true Lock the state file when locking is supported.
-lock-timeout=0s Duration to retry a state lock.
-no-color If specified, output won't contain any color.
-parallelism=n Limit the number of concurrent operations.
Defaults to 10.
-refresh=true Update state prior to checking for differences. This
has no effect if a plan file is given to apply.
-state=path Path to read and save state (unless state-out
is specified). Defaults to "terraform.tfstate".
-state-out=path Path to write state to that is different than
"-state". This can be used to preserve the old

resource and its dependencies. This flag can be used

-var 'foo=bar' Set a variable in the Terraform configuration. This
flag can be set multiple times.
-var-file=foo Set variables in the Terraform configuration from
a file. If "terraform.tfvars" or any ".auto.tfvars"
files are present, they will be automatically loaded.
