Deleting a virtual machine by using the CLI

You can delete a virtual machine by using the oc command line interface (CLI). The oc client enables you to perform actions on multiple virtual machines.

Prerequisites

Identify the name of the virtual machine that you want to delete.

Procedure

Delete the virtual machine by running the following command:
```
$ oc delete vm <vm_name>
```
This command only deletes a VM in the current project. Specify the -n <project_name> option if the VM you want to delete is in a different project or namespace.
