delete-datahub-datasets

dci delete-datahub-datasets [body]

Deletes one or more DataHub datasets and all their associated data.

Pass the request body as name: value arguments or pipe JSON on stdin — see Command structure.

Examples

# Preview which datasets would be deleted, without sending a request.
dci delete-datahub-datasets datasets: [litellm-usage, warehouse-costs] --dry-run

# Delete several datasets and all their data without a prompt, for scripts and CI (interactive terminals ask first).
dci delete-datahub-datasets datasets: [litellm-usage, warehouse-costs] --yes

Exit code 0 and no output; `dci list-datahub-datasets` no longer lists them.
