Is it possible to do the equivalent of tf destroy in Nomad? I get the distinct impression that Nomad’s philosophy is to strictly persist all deployments, and/or that old jobs are garbage collected I can’t seem to find docs on this particular topic if I missed them, I apologize

Hi @salvor , nomad job stop -purge <job> should do the trick. [image] Commands: job stop | Nomad by HashiCorp The job stop command is used to stop a running job.

You can also use the nomad system gc command to trigger the garbage collector. This will remove all jobs, allocs and nodes that are not active anymore.
