# Tear down targets

Tear down infrastructure configured with bootstrap config sets to the specified deployment groups and targets.

## Usage

```bash
tkm targets tear-down [group-path...] \
  [--target <target>]... \
  [--exclude-target <target>]... \
  [--label <label>]... \
  [--exclude-label <label>]... \
  [--concurrent-targets <count>] \
  [--config-set <config-set>] \
  [--command-path <command-path>]
```

## Positional arguments

* `group-path`
  * Provide one or more deployment group paths to tear down only the targets that belong to the deployment groups located under the given deployment group paths in the deployment groups hierarchy.
  * Optional.

## Options

* `--label <label>`
  * Choose deployment targets by label. You can use this option multiple times to specify more labels.
  * Optional
* `--exclude-label <label>`
  * Exclude deployment targets by label. You can use this option multiple times to specify more labels.
  * Optional
* `--target <target>`

  * Optional
* `--exclude-target <target>`
  * Exclude deployment targets. You can use this option multiple times to specify more targets. You can use **%** character as a wildcard at the beginning and/or end of the target name to more than one target.&#x20;
  * Optional
* `--concurrent-targets <number>`
  * Number of deployment targets to deploy concurrently. Defaults to 1. If you choose to review changes to each target, this is set to 1.
  * Optional
* `--config-set <config-set>`
  * Tear down only this config set.
  * Optional
