============

.. code-block::

    $ cubic delete --help
    Delete VM instances and snapshots
    
    A target written as <INSTANCE> deletes the whole VM instance including all
    of its snapshots. A target written as <INSTANCE>/<SNAPSHOT> deletes only
    that one snapshot and leaves the VM instance alone.
    
    Examples:
    
      Delete the VM instance 'my-instance':
      $ cubic delete my-instance
    
      Delete multiple VM instances:
      $ cubic delete trixie noble
    
      Delete the snapshot 'clean' of the VM instance 'my-instance':
      $ cubic delete my-instance/clean
    
      Delete multiple VM instances without confirmation:
      $ cubic delete --yes trixie noble
