Deleting a disk

The folder used by default is the one specified when creating the CLI profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also specify a different folder for any command using --folder-name or --folder-id. If you access a resource by its name, the search will be limited to the default folder. If you access a resource by its ID, the search will be global, i.e., through all folders based on access permissions.

1. See the description of the CLI commands for deleting disks:

   yc compute disk delete --help
   

2. Get a list of disks in the default folder:

   yc compute disk list
   

   Result:

   +----------------------+--------------+-------------+-------------------+--------+----------------------+-----------------+-------------+
   |          ID          |     NAME     |    SIZE     |       ZONE        | STATUS |     INSTANCE IDS     | PLACEMENT GROUP | DESCRIPTION |
   +----------------------+--------------+-------------+-------------------+--------+----------------------+-----------------+-------------+
   | a7lqgbt0bb9s******** | first-disk   | 20401094656 |   ru-central1-a   | READY  | a7lcvu28njbh******** |                 |             |
   | a7lv5j5hm1p1******** | second-disk  | 21474836480 |   ru-central1-a   | READY  |                      |                 |             |
   +----------------------+--------------+-------------+-------------------+--------+----------------------+-----------------+-------------+
   

3. Select ID or NAME of the disk in question.

4. Delete the disk:

   yc compute disk delete \
     --name first-disk
   

If you do not have Terraform yet, install it and configure the Yandex Cloud provider.

To manage infrastructure using Terraform under a service account or user accounts (a Yandex account, a federated account, or a local user), authenticate using the appropriate method.

To delete a disk created with Terraform, follow these steps:

1. In the command line, go to the directory with the Terraform configuration file.

2. Delete the resources using this command:

   terraform destroy
   

   Alert

   Terraform will delete all the resources you created in the current configuration, such as clusters, networks, subnets, and VMs.

3. Type yes and press Enter.

To delete a disk, use the delete REST API method for the Disk resource or the DiskService/Delete gRPC API call.

To request a list of available disks, use the list REST API method or the DiskService/List gRPC API call.
