# stb destroy and reset-target

> Interactively destroy selected pipelines or reset StreamBuild-managed target relations.

Destroy selected pipelines while preserving their managed sources and replay data:

```bash theme={null}
stb destroy \
  --target uat \
  --select pipeline:pl__orders pipeline:pl__reporting
```

Reset all StreamBuild-managed pipeline and source relations in one target:

```bash theme={null}
stb reset-target --target uat
```

Standalone destructive commands resolve the local OS username in the same StreamBuild account
control store used by the development server. The account must be active and hold the built-in
`admin` role. Use `--control-store-url` when the installation does not use the project-local default
store.

The frozen plan and review lifecycle use the durable relational control store rather than
process-local memory. Immediately before execution, StreamBuild reloads the account, recompiles the
project, resolves the selected target's physical database again, and rejects account, target, or
database drift.

Both commands:

* require an interactive stdin terminal
* print the complete frozen impact plan before prompting
* require a separate review decision
* prompt separately for every exact, case-sensitive challenge value
* use the same planner, target lock, drift checks, executor, and operation recording as the UI

The commands do not accept non-interactive output or approval options. In particular, there is no
`--yes`, `--force`, `--auto-approve`, `--confirm`, `--apply`, or `--no-confirm` option.

<Warning>
  Destruction is irreversible. A later build can recreate authored resources, but StreamBuild does
  not restore the dropped data or automatically roll back a partial failure.
