# App::Pinto::Command::kill(3pm)

permanently delete a stack

## NAME

App::Pinto::Command::kill - permanently delete a stack

## VERSION

version 0.14

## SYNOPSIS

```
  pinto --root=REPOSITORY_ROOT kill [OPTIONS] STACK
```

## DESCRIPTION

This command permanently deletes a stack.  Once a stack is killed, there  is no direct way to get it back.  However, any distributions that were  registered on the stack will still remain in the repository.

## COMMAND ARGUMENTS

The required argument is the name of the stack you wish to kill. Stack names must be alphanumeric plus hyphens and underscores, and are not case-sensitive.

## COMMAND OPTIONS

- \--force

  Kill the stack even if it is currently locked.  Normally, locked stacks cannot be deleted.  Take care when deleting a locked stack as it usually means the stack is important to someone.
