NAME gcloud compute disks delete - delete a Compute Engine disk SYNOPSIS gcloud compute disks delete DISK_NAME [DISK_NAME ...] [--region=REGION | --zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...] DESCRIPTION gcloud 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 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 These variants are also available: $ gcloud alpha compute disks delete $ gcloud beta compute disks delete
