Removing disks with gcloud

Question

Trying to remove disks with the gcloud cli, I want to do something like this:

gcloud compute disks delete $(gcloud compute disks list --filter="labels=(some-label)")

The gcloud cli outputs:

The following disks will be deleted:

• [10] in [europe-west4-a]
• [30] in [europe-west4-a]
• [8] in [europe-west4-a]
• [LOCATION] in [europe-west4-a]
• [LOCATION_SCOPE] in [europe-west4-a]
• [NAME] in [europe-west4-a]
• [READY] in [europe-west4-a]
• [SIZE_GB] in [europe-west4-a]
• [STATUS] in [europe-west4-a]
• [TYPE] in [europe-west4-a]
• [europe-west4-a] in [europe-west4-a]
• [disk1] in [europe-west4-a]
• [disk2] in [europe-west4-a]
• [disk3] in [europe-west4-a]
• [disk4] in [europe-west4-a]
• [disk5] in [europe-west4-a]
• [disk6] in [europe-west4-a]
• [pd-standard] in [europe-west4-a]
• [zone] in [europe-west4-a] Do you want to continue (Y/n)?

The command gcloud compute disks list --filter="labels=(some-label) yields:

disk1 europe-west4-a zone 10 pd-standard READY

disk2 europe-west4-a zone 30 pd-standard READY

disk3 europe-west4-a zone 8 pd-standard READY

disk4 europe-west4-a zone 8 pd-standard READY

disk5 europe-west4-a zone 8 pd-standard READY

disk6 europe-west4-a zone 8 pd-standard READY

My question is, what does all the other fields mean, in the first command? Will it only remove the disks thats intended?

Answer 1

the correct command to delete disk is gcloud compute disks delete my-disk --zone=us-east1-a replace value with your disk and zone.

If you want to just remove disk from VM instance and dont want to delete, use below command. gcloud compute instances detach-disk INSTANCE_NAME --disk=DISK_NAME
