# atmos store delete

Remove a value from a configured store backend. Atmos asks you to confirm before it deletes the value. To skip this prompt, pass `--force`. If the backend does not support deletion, this command returns an error. Examples of backends that do not support deletion are Redis and Artifactory. You can also run this command with the `rm` or `unset` alias.

## Usage

```shell
atmos store delete STORE KEY [flags]
```

## Examples

```shell
# Delete a value, prompting for confirmation
atmos store delete app-metadata image_tag --stack=prod --component=ecs-service

# Delete without a confirmation prompt
atmos store delete app-metadata image_tag --stack=prod --component=ecs-service --force

# Use the `rm` alias
atmos store rm app-metadata image_tag --stack=prod --component=ecs-service

# Use the `unset` alias
atmos store unset app-metadata image_tag --stack=prod --component=ecs-service
```
