# summary

Delete a sandbox.

# description

Salesforce CLI marks the org for deletion in the production org that contains the sandbox licenses and then deletes all local references to the org from your computer.
Specify a sandbox with either the username you used when you logged into it, or the alias you gave the sandbox when you created it. Run "<%= config.bin %> org list" to view all your orgs, including sandboxes, and their aliases.
Both the sandbox and the associated production org must already be authenticated with the CLI to successfully delete the sandbox.

# examples

- Delete a sandbox with alias my-sandbox:

  <%= config.bin %> <%= command.id %> --target-org my-sandbox

- Specify a username instead of an alias:

  <%= config.bin %> <%= command.id %> --target-org myusername@example.com.qa

- Delete the sandbox without prompting to confirm:

  <%= config.bin %> <%= command.id %> --target-org my-sandbox --no-prompt

# flags.target-org.summary

Username or alias of the target org. Not required if the `target-org` configuration variable is already set.

# flags.no-prompt.summary

Don't prompt the user to confirm the deletion.

# prompt.confirm

Are you sure you want to delete the sandbox with name: %s?

# success

# success.Idempotent

# error.unknownSandbox

The org with username: %s is not known by the CLI to be a sandbox

# error.unknownSandbox.actions

Re-authenticate the sandbox with the CLI and try again.
Ensure the CLI has authenticated with the sandbox's production org.

# error.missingUsername
