In 3 ways we can destroy the resources through Terrafrom.
1.From the terrafrom init directroy – Where you keep the actual config files,
2.Specifying the target with provider,
3.Remove the resource code from your tf file.
Option1: – From the terraform init directory
#terraform destroy
Here it will show clearly what are the resources can be deleted . In this example “yourec2” will be deleted . We didn’t specify the actual target resources here . But it will read form available tf config files and shows.
2. Now lets try to delete the below instance by specifying the target
#terraform destroy -target aws_instance.yourec2
3.Remove the code from your tf file
In thes example we have comment the resource part , so it will terminate the ec2 instance . If it is already terminated it will show no changes.
It makes other resources available and confirm ec2 instance not exists.
