gcloud compute instant-snapshots delete

NAME

gcloud compute instant-snapshots delete - delete a Compute Engine instant snapshot

SYNOPSIS

gcloud compute instant-snapshots delete INSTANT_SNAPSHOT_NAME [INSTANT_SNAPSHOT_NAME …] [--region=REGION     | --zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]

DESCRIPTION

gcloud compute instant-snapshots delete deletes a Compute Engine instant snapshot. A disk can be deleted only if it is not attached to any virtual machine instances.

EXAMPLES

To delete Compute Engine instant snapshots with the names 'instant-snapshot-1' and 'instant-snapshot-2', run:

gcloud compute instant-snapshots delete instant-snapshot-1 instant-snapshot-2

To list all instant snapshots that were created before a specific date, use the --filter flag with the gcloud compute instant-snapshots list command.

gcloud compute instant-snapshots list --filter="creationTimestamp<'2017-01-01'"

For more information on how to use --filter with the list command, run $ gcloud topic filters.

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

INSTANT_SNAPSHOT_NAME [INSTANT_SNAPSHOT_NAME …]

Names of the instant snapshots to delete.

FLAGS

At most one of these can be specified:

--region=REGION

Region of the instant snapshots to delete. If not specified, you might be prompted to select a region (interactive mode only).

To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the compute/region property:

gcloud config set compute/region REGION

A list of regions can be fetched by running:

gcloud compute regions list

To unset the property, run:

gcloud config unset compute/region

Alternatively, the region can be stored in the environment variable CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_REGION.

--zone=ZONE

Zone of the instant snapshots to delete. If not specified and the compute/zone property isn't set, you might be prompted to select a zone (interactive mode only).

To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the compute/zone property:

gcloud config set compute/zone ZONE

A list of zones can be fetched by running:

gcloud compute zones list

To unset the property, run:

gcloud config unset compute/zone

Alternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variable CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE.

GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS

These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account, --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format, --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet, --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity.

Run $ gcloud help for details.
