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, all its replicas, and 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.
