# Command: var purge
The `var purge` command permanently deletes an existing variable from Nomad's
variable storage.
## Usage
```plaintext
nomad var purge [options] <path>
```
The `var purge` command requires the path to the variable.
If ACLs are enabled, this command requires a token with the `variables:destroy`
capability for the target variable's namespace.
## General Options
@include 'general_options.mdx'
## Command Options
- `-check-index` `(int: <unset>)`: If set, the variable is only acted upon if
the server-side version's index matches the provided value. When a variable
specification contains a modify index, that modify index is used as the
check-index for the check-and-set operation and can be overridden using this
flag.
## Examples
Purge the variable at the "secret/creds" path.
```shell-session
$ nomad var purge -y secret/creds
Successfully purged variable "secret/creds"!
```
