Warning

Yandex IoT Core is no longer available to new users.

Current users can create resources until November 1, 2026. Afterwards, the service will go read-only and cease to operate on December 1, 2026. For more information on the timing and procedure, see Service shutdown.

Warning

You can only delete an empty registry. Make sure to delete devices from the registry before deleting the registry itself.

To access a registry, use its unique ID or name. For information about how to find the unique ID or name, see Getting information about registries.

In the management console, select the folder you want to delete the registry from.
Navigate to IoT Core.
To the right of the name of the registry to delete, click and select Delete from the drop-down list.
In the window that opens, click Delete.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, install and initialize it.

With Terraform, you can quickly create a cloud infrastructure in Yandex Cloud and manage it using configuration files. These files store the infrastructure description written in HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL). If you change the configuration files, Terraform automatically detects which part of your configuration is already deployed, and what should be added or removed.

Terraform is distributed under the Business Source License. The Yandex Cloud provider for Terraform is distributed under the MPL-2.0 license.

For more information about the provider resources, see the relevant documentation on the Terraform website or its mirror.

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 registry created using Terraform:

Open the Terraform configuration file and delete the fragment with the registry description.

Example registry description in the Terraform configuration:
```
resource "yandex_iot_core_registry" "my_registry" {
  name        = "test-registry"
  description = "test registry for terraform provider documentation"
  }
...
}
```
For more information about yandex_iot_core_registry properties, see this Terraform provider guide.
In the command line, change to the folder where you edited the configuration file.
Make sure the configuration file is correct using this command:
```
terraform validate
```
If the configuration is valid, you will get this message:
```
Success! The configuration is valid.
```
Run this command:
```
terraform plan
```
You will see a list of resources and their properties. No changes will be made at this step. Terraform will show any errors in the configuration.
Apply the configuration changes:
```
terraform apply
```
Confirm the changes: type yes into the terminal and press Enter.

You can check the update using the management console or this CLI command:
```
yc iot registry list
```

To delete a registry, use the delete REST API method for the Registry resource or the RegistryService/Delete gRPC API call.
