Step 7: Destroy the logical database
The CLI can destroy the entire logical database, including the primary and all of its replicas with the following command:
turso db destroy my-db
This is a very dangerous command since it deletes all data in the database and cannot be reversed. The CLI will interactively prompt you to ask if it’s OK to do so:
Database my-db, and all its data will be destroyed.
Are you sure you want to do this? [y/n]:
Type “y” + return to continue destroying the database.
Notes about destroying logical databases:
- There is no recovery from a destroyed logical database.
- You can bypass the interactive prompt for use with automated scripts using the
--yes
flag.
