SYNOPSIS

gcloud compute target-instances delete NAME [NAME …] [--zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]

DESCRIPTION

gcloud compute target-instances delete deletes one or more Compute Engine target instances. Target instances can be deleted only if they are not being used by any other resources like forwarding rules.

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

NAME [NAME …]

Names of the target instances to delete.

FLAGS

--zone=ZONE

Zone of the target instances 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.
