rpk shadow delete

Delete a Redpanda Shadow Link.

This command deletes a Shadow Link by name. By default, you cannot delete a Shadow Link that has active shadow topics. Use rpk shadow failover first to deactivate topics before deletion, or use the --force flag to delete the Shadow Link and failover all its active shadow topics.

The command prompts you to confirm the deletion. Use the --no-confirm flag to skip the confirmation prompt. The --force flag automatically disables the confirmation prompt.

Deleting a Shadow Link with --force permanently removes all shadow topics and stops replication. This operation cannot be undone.

Usage

rpk shadow delete <link_name> [flags]
