PROGRAM:
NAME
knife-delete - The man page for the knife delete subcommand.
The knife delete subcommand is used to delete an object from a Chef server. This
subcommand works similar to knife cookbook delete, knife data bag delete, knife
environment delete, knife node delete, and knife role delete, but with a single verb (and
a single action).
Syntax
This subcommand has the following syntax:
$ knife delete [PATTERN...] (options)

-s URL, --server-url URL
The URL for the Chef server.
-u USER, --user USER
The user name used by knife to sign requests made by the API client to the Chef

-y, --yes
Use to respond to all confirmation prompts with "Yes". knife will not ask for
confirmation.
-z, --local-mode
Use to run the chef-client in local mode. This allows all commands that work
against the Chef server to also work against the local chef-repo.
