The command "omf destroy" is used to remove a data flow application from EdgeX Foundry's metadata and unregister corresponding devices and services. It completely destroys the configuration, containers, and data related to that application.
"omf" stands for Operational Management Framework, which is a component of EdgeX Foundry. It provides a set of command-line tools to manage various aspects of EdgeX, such as deploying and removing applications, managing devices, and retrieving data.
When you execute the "omf destroy" command, it prompts you to select the specific application you want to remove. Once you confirm the selection, it removes the application's metadata, de-registers devices and services associated with it, and cleans up any related data resources. This command helps to clean up and free system resources when an application is no longer needed or is being replaced.
