Clean up and remove a project completely

Delete all resources in a project and remove the project.

Before you begin

  • The administrator has created a project for you and has provided you with a clouds.yaml file for you to access the cloud.
  • The python-openstackclient package is on your workstation. 
    $ dnf list installed python-openstackclient

Procedure

  1. Confirm that the system OS_CLOUD variable is set for your cloud: 
    $ echo $OS_CLOUD
my_cloud

    Reset the variable if necessary:

    $ export OS_CLOUD=my_other_cloud

    As an alternative, you can specify the cloud name by adding the --os-cloud <cloud_name> option each time you run an openstack command.

  2. Using the project name, delete the project and all of the resources associated with the project:
    Example

    In this example, test-project is deleted:

    $ openstack project purge --project test-project

Results

  • Confirm that the project has been deleted: 
    $ openstack project list
