Delete a database
databases & regions
// what it does
Permanently deletes a database with all its branches, data, and backups. Interactive mode makes you type the database name to confirm — a deliberate speed bump.
// shell
$ pscale database delete mydb$ pscale database delete scratch-db --force// gotcha
--force skips the confirmation, and there is no undo or grace period. Reserve it for scripted teardown of throwaway test databases, never in anything that could see a production name in a variable.
