Deleting a virtual machine by using the CLI

Prerequisites
  • Identify the name of the virtual machine that you want to delete.

Procedure
  • Delete the virtual machine by running the following command:

    $ oc delete vm <vm_name>

    This command only deletes a VM in the current project. Specify the -n <project_name> option if the VM you want to delete is in a different project or namespace.
