prlctl delete, destroy

These commands are used to delete Containers from the server.

Syntax

prlctl delete <CT_ID>

prlctl destroy <CT_ID>

Options

When executed, prlctl delete/prlctl destroy physically removes all the files located in the Container private area (specified as the VE_PRIVATE variable in the Container configuration file) and renames the Container configuration file in /etc/vz/conf from <CT_ID>.conf to <CT_ID>.conf.destroyed. It also renames Container action scripts, if any, in a similar manner.

Note: A Container must be stopped before its private area can be unmounted.
