Deleting a Stack

When you are ready to delete your stack, you can do so by navigating to the Stack deletion tab in your stack settings. You will get a choice to keep or delete any of the resources that this stack manages. To delete your stack, type the stack's name into the confirmation box and click on the delete button.

Deleting Resources Managed by a Stack

Depending on the backend of your stack, there are different commands you can run as a task before deleting the stack.

Backend	Command
Terraform	terraform destroy -auto-approve
CloudFormation	aws cloudformation delete-stack --stack-name <cloudformation-stack-name>
Pulumi	pulumi destroy --non-interactive --yes
Kubernetes	kubectl delete --ignore-not-found -l spacelift-stack=<stack-slug> $(kubectl api-resources --verbs=list,create -o name &#124; paste -s -d, -)

Tip

For Terraform, you can also run a task through our CLI tool spacectl.
