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 /p rlctl 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.
