# kv destroy
|
|
|
|
~> **NOTE:** This is a [KV version 2](/vault/docs/secrets/kv/kv-v2) secrets
|
|
engine command, and not available for Version 1.
|
|
|
|
The `kv destroy` command permanently removes the specified versions' data
|
|
from the key/value secrets engine. If no key exists at the path, no action is
|
|
taken.
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
Destroy version 11 of the key "creds":
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ vault kv destroy -mount=secret -versions=11 creds
|
|
Success! Data written to: secret/destroy/creds
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
There are no flags beyond the [standard set of flags](/vault/docs/commands)
|
|
included on all commands.
|
|
|
|
### Output options
|
|
|
|
- `-format` `(string: "table")` - Print the output in the given format. Valid
|
|
formats are "table", "json", or "yaml". This can also be specified via the
|
|
`VAULT_FORMAT` environment variable.
|
|
|
|
### Command options
|
|
|
|
- `-mount` `(string: "")` - Specifies the path where the KV backend is mounted.
|
|
If specified, the next argument will be interpreted as the secret path. If
|
|
this flag is not specified, the next argument will be interpreted as the
|
|
combined mount path and secret path, with /data/ automatically inserted for
|
|
KV v2 secrets.
|
|
|
|
- `-versions` `([]int: <required>)` - The versions to destroy. Their data will
|
|
be permanently deleted.
