How to Destroy a VPC

To delete a VPC network via the command-line, follow these steps:

1. Install doctl, the DigitalOcean command-line tool.

2. Create a personal access token, and save it for use with doctl.

3. Use the token to grant doctl access to your DigitalOcean account.

                 doctl auth init
               

4. Finally, delete a VPC network with doctl vpcs delete. The basic usage looks like this, but you'll want to read the usage docs for more details:

                 doctl vpcs delete <id> [flags]
               

   The following example deletes the VPC network with the ID f81d4fae-7dec-11d0-a765-00a0c91e6bf6

                      doctl vpcs delete f81d4fae-7dec-11d0-a765-00a0c91e6bf6
                   

To delete a VPC network using the DigitalOcean API, follow these steps:

1. Create a personal access token, and save it for use with the API.

2. Send a DELETE request to https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/vpcs/{vpc_id}

   cURL

   To delete a VPC network with cURL, call:

   
                   curl -X DELETE \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN" \
     "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/vpcs/e0fe0f4d-596a-465e-a902-571ce57b79fa"

   Go

   Go developers can use Godo, the official DigitalOcean V2 API client for Go. To delete a VPC network with Godo, use the following code:

   
                   import (
       "context"
       "os"
   
       "github.com/digitalocean/godo"
   )
   
   func main() {
       token := os.Getenv("DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN")
   
       client := godo.NewFromToken(token)
       ctx := context.TODO()
   
       resp, err := client.VPCs.Delete(ctx, "5a4981aa-9653-4bd1-bef5-d6bff52042e4")
   }

   Python

   
                   import os
   from pydo import Client
   
   client = Client(token=os.environ.get("DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN"))
   
   resp = client.vpcs.delete(vpc_id="e0fe0f4d")
