Deleting projects

Projects can be deleted even if they have users associated with them, so be sure to delete users and other project assets before deleting a project, otherwise you risk having orphaned resources. In this example, we will show how to delete a project named oldbook.

Getting ready

Ensure that you are logged on to a correctly configured OpenStack client and can access the OpenStack environment as a user with admin privileges.

Refer to Chapter 2, The OpenStack Client, for details of setting up your environment to use OpenStack command-line client.

How to do it…

In order to delete a project, execute the following commands:

1. Get the project's name from a current project list:

   openstack project list
   

   

2. Delete the project:

   openstack project delete oldbook
   

   This command will have no output.

How it works…

Deleting unnecessary projects is simple when using OpenStack command-line tool. Be sure to delete only empty projects. Start with a command to get existing projects:

openstack project list

Delete...
