docs kv delete - Command <code>delete</code> docs-commands-kv-delete The "kv delete" command disables a secrets engine at a given PATH. The argument corresponds to the enabled PATH of the engine, not the TYPE! All secrets created by this engine are revoked and its Vault data is removed.

kv delete

The kv delete command deletes the data for the provided path in the key/value secrets engine. If using K/V Version 2, its versioned data will not be fully removed, but marked as deleted and will no longer be returned in normal get requests.

Examples

Delete the latest version of the key "creds":

$ vault kv delete secret/creds
Success! Data deleted (if it existed) at: secret/creds

[K/V Version 2] Delete version 11 of key "creds":

$ vault kv delete -versions=11 secret/creds
Success! Data deleted (if it existed) at: secret/creds

Usage

There are no flags beyond the standard set of flags included on all commands.

Command Options

  • -versions ([]int: <required>) - The versions to be deleted. The versioned data will not be deleted, but it will no longer be returned in normal get requests.

~> NOTE: This command option is only for K/V v2.
