Commands
rmdrive
Permanently delete a shared drive.
poly rmdrive permanently deletes a shared drive, including its home, archive, and every file inside. This is permanent and cannot be undone — there is no archive step like rm.
Usage
poly rmdrive <TARGET> [-f|--force]
TARGET can be the drive's handle (@my-drive), the path to its home folder, a deep link (polyapp://shared/my-drive), or a web URL.
By default, rmdrive prompts for confirmation before deleting. See Shared Drives for how drives and membership work.
Flags
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
-f, --force | Skip the confirmation prompt. Required if stdin isn't a terminal (e.g. scripts, CI). |
Examples
# Delete a drive by handle, with a confirmation prompt
poly rmdrive @design-team
# Delete a drive by its home folder path
poly rmdrive //shared/old-project
# Skip the prompt in a script
poly rmdrive @old-project --force
# Delete using a deep link
poly rmdrive polyapp://shared/old-project
