The `kv destroy` command permanently removes the specified versions' data
from the key/value secrets engine. If no key exists at the path, no action is
taken.

Destroy version 11 of the key "creds":
```shell-session
$ vault kv destroy -versions=11 secret/creds
Success! Data written to: secret/destroy/creds
```
## Usage
There are no flags beyond the [standard set of flags](/docs/commands)
included on all commands.
