## DETAILS

The 'repo wipe' command removes the specified projects from the worktree (the checked out source code) and deletes the project's git data from \`.repo\`.

This is a destructive operation and cannot be undone.

Projects can be specified either by name, or by a relative or absolute path to the project's local directory.

## EXAMPLES

### # Wipe the project platform/build by name:

$ repo wipe platform/build

### # Wipe the project at the path build/make :

$ repo wipe build/make
