NAME
    gcloud compute instances remove-metadata - remove instance metadata

SYNOPSIS
    gcloud compute instances remove-metadata INSTANCE_NAME [--zone=ZONE]
        [--all | --keys=KEY,[KEY,...]] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION
    gcloud compute instances remove-metadata can be used to remove instance
    metadata entries.

EXAMPLES
    To remove metadata keys important-data and useless-data along with their
    data from an instance named test-instance, run:

        $ gcloud compute instances remove-metadata test-instance \
            --keys=important-data,useless-data

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
     INSTANCE_NAME
        Name of the instance to set metadata on. For details on valid instance
        names, refer to the criteria documented under the field 'name' at:
        https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/rest/v1/instances

FLAGS
     --zone=ZONE
        Zone of the instance to set metadata on. If not specified, you might be
        prompted to select a zone (interactive mode only). gcloud attempts to
        identify the appropriate zone by searching for resources in your
        currently active project. If the zone cannot be determined, gcloud
        prompts you for a selection with all available Google Cloud Platform
        zones.

        To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, the user 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.

     At most one of these can be specified:

       --all
          If provided, all metadata entries are removed.

       --keys=KEY,[KEY,...]
          The keys of the entries to remove.
