okay bestie, welcome to the c8y(1) manual page for c8y-inventory-delete — we're deleting a managed object and we're gonna be so normal about it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

c8y-inventory-delete — Delete managed object. That's the whole assignment: managed object, deleted, bye 👋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

c8y inventory delete [flags]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Delete an existing managed object. It's giving cleanup era, no cap ✨

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• --cascade[=false] — When set to true and the managed object is a device or group, all the hierarchy will be deleted too. so the whole little family tree goes 🌳
• --forceCascade[=false] — When set to true, all the hierarchy will be deleted without checking the type of managed object. It takes precedence over the cascade parameter — main character override energy 👑

• --id=[] — ManagedObject id (required) (accepts pipeline). yes bestie, required — don't forget it 🙈
• --processingMode="" — Cumulocity processing mode
