heroku: Permanently destroy an app.

try on your machine

The command "heroku destroy --app ${app_name}" is used to permanently delete a Heroku application. Here is a breakdown of the command:

  1. "heroku": Refers to the Heroku command-line interface (CLI) used to interact with Heroku services.

  2. "destroy": Specifies the action to destroy/delete the Heroku application.

  3. "--app": Indicates that the following argument is the name of the Heroku application to be destroyed.

  4. "${app_name}": This represents a placeholder for the actual name of the Heroku application. You would need to replace "${app_name}" with the specific name of the application you want to delete.
