cub target delete

cub target delete

Delete a target or multiple targets

Synopsis

Delete a target or multiple targets using bulk operations.

Single target delete: 

  cub target delete my-target

Bulk delete with --where:

Delete multiple targets at once based on search criteria.

Examples: 

  # Delete targets for specific toolchain
  cub target delete --where "ToolchainType = 'Kubernetes/YAML'"

  # Delete targets across all spaces (requires --space "*")
  cub target delete --space "*" --where "Labels.cleanup = 'true'"

  # Delete specific targets by slug
  cub target delete --target my-target,another-target

A Target is not deleted while Units, Spaces or Releases reference it. The error names them. Pass --detach to clear their references to it as part of the delete: 

  cub target delete --detach my-target

cub target delete [<slug or id>] [flags]

Options

      --detach                        Remove the references other entities have to what is deleted, instead of refusing the delete while any remain
      --filter string                 Filter entity to apply to the list. Specify as 'space/filter' for cross-space filters or just 'filter' for current space. Supports both slugs and UUIDs. The filter will be combined with any --where clause using AND logic. Examples: "production-filters/security-check", "my-filter-uuid", "validation-rules"
      --from-backing-units            prune: delete only the targets selected whose backing Units are empty, which says they should not exist, and keep the Units; the rest are left alone
  -h, --help                          help for delete
      --include-hidden string[="*"]   Also select hidden entities, to list or to act on: those hidden for the given HiddenReasons, comma-separated, as in --include-hidden=BackingUnit, or for any reason when given no value or "*". ConfigHub/YAML Units, which hold the configuration of other entities, are hidden with the reason BackingUnit. A --where naming entities by Slug or ID selects them whether hidden or not
  -o, --output string                 Output format. One of: json, yaml, name, wide, mutations, jq=<expr>, yq=<expr>, custom-columns=<spec>
      --quiet                         No default output.
      --target strings                target specific targets by slug or UUID for bulk delete (can be repeated or comma-separated)
      --verbose                       Detailed output, additive with default output
      --where string                  Filter expression using SQL-inspired syntax. Supports conjunctions with AND. String operators: =, !=, <, >, <=, >=, LIKE, NOT LIKE, ILIKE, ~~, !~~, ~, ~*, !~, !~*. Pattern matching with LIKE/ILIKE uses % and _ wildcards. Regex operators (~, ~*, !~, !~*) support POSIX regular expressions. A related entity is referenced by prefix, as in "UpstreamUnit.Slug = 'base'"; when the reference names a list, a * segment matches any element, as in "FromLink.*.Slug = 'upgrade-app'". Examples: "Slug LIKE 'app-%'", "DisplayName ILIKE '%backend%'", "Slug ~ '^[a-z]+-[0-9]+$'"

Options inherited from parent commands

      --context string   The context to use for this command
      --debug            Debug output
      --space string     space to operate in, by slug or UUID. Omitted, a list or bulk operation spans the organization and a single entity is named as <space>/<slug>
