# ddev delere

Delete the environment and the containers completely.

Any changes you have made to the file system is kept, but the database etc is destroyed.

The `--omit-snapshots` argument, if specified, tells DDEV to _not_ keep a dump of
the database content for later. If you want it to dump the database so you can
load it back at a later time, don't use this argument.

**Example:**
```bash
$ ddev delete --omit-snapshot
```
