# ubx destroy

> Tear down all cloud resources in the current stack.

`ubx destroy` tears down all cloud resources in the current Pulumi stack by running `pulumi destroy`. The `.ubx/` directory must exist — run `ubx apply` at least once first.

## Usage

```bash theme={null}
ubx destroy [flags]
```

## Examples

```bash theme={null}
ubx destroy                  # prompt for confirmation
ubx destroy --force          # skip confirmation prompt
ubx destroy --env prod       # destroy prod stack
ubx destroy --target unit.aws_s3_bucket_v2.assets  # specific resource only
```

## Flags

| Flag                   | Description                             |
| ---------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| `--force`              | Skip confirmation prompt                |
| `--env string`         | Target environment                      |
| `--stack string`       | Target stack name                       |
| `--target stringArray` | Target a specific resource (repeatable) |

## Output

```
  ◆ Stack      dev

  ─── Destroying ─────────────────────

  -  aws:s3:BucketV2     assets     2s
  -  aws:rds:Instance    db        15s

  ✓  done in 18s · 0 created · 0 changed · 2 destroyed
```

## Confirmation

By default ubx prompts before destroying:

```
⚠  This will destroy 2 resources in stack "dev".
Continue? [y/N]
```

Use `--force` to skip in CI/CD pipelines.

<Warning>
  `ubx destroy` permanently deletes cloud resources. Resources with `lifecycle { prevent_destroy = true }` will be protected and cause an error.
