# overlane enterprise data delete

{/* Generated by apps/docs/scripts/generate.mjs (CLI pages from the command registry in packages/cli). Do not edit; run `pnpm --filter @overlane/docs gen`. */}

Removes records, derived text, vectors, logs and backup snapshots written by the service. Point-in-time database copies age out within 30 days, and the report states the date. The audit log keeps identifiers only, including this deletion. Irreversible: it needs --force without a terminal, and an agent needs an independent agent's approval.

## Usage

```sh
overlane enterprise data delete [--scope SCOPE] [--subject ID] [--dry-run] [--force]
```

## Flags

| Flag | Type | Required | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `--scope` | one of `tenant`, `project`, `user` | no | `tenant` | tenant (default), project or user |
| `--subject` | string | no |  | The project or user ID for a project or user scope |
| `--dry-run` | boolean | no |  | Print the requests and file changes this command would make, then stop. Needs no credentials. |
| `--force` | boolean | no |  | Confirm a destructive action when there is no terminal to ask on. Without it, exit 2. |

## Examples

```sh
overlane enterprise data delete --scope project --subject prj-1 --dry-run
```

## Behavior

- Effect: `destructive` (deletes or reverts; needs `--force` without a terminal).
- Needs credentials: yes. Uses the network: yes.
- Supports `--dry-run`: yes. Accepts `--force`: yes.
- Machine-readable description: `overlane schema enterprise data delete`.

## Result

With `--json` (the default when stdout is not a terminal) the command prints this JSON Schema's shape on stdout.
