Delete a Server
Trashing an instance discards everything it holds: the projects inside it, the tables and every version of their data, the registered function code, and the execution history. This cannot be reversed.
tdkserver trash removes a local kminus instance and its data. The command is
trash rather than delete, and it applies to local kminus instances. An EKS
deployment is torn down through its own uninstall path instead.
tdkserver stop --instance myinstance
tdkserver trash --instance myinstance
The command prints a summary of what it is about to discard and waits for confirmation. Read the instance name in that summary before agreeing to it, since there is nothing to recover afterward.
tdkserver list
The instance no longer appears, and its name is free for reuse.
Keeping the data
Nothing in the instance survives the trash, so anything worth keeping has to leave the server first. A subscriber writes a table out to an external system, which is the supported way to get data off an instance. See Subscribers.
What to do next
Quickstart a Server for a fresh instance with default configuration, or Initialize a Server to set the configuration yourself.
See tdkserver trash for the full option list.
