zfs: Delete a ZFS filesystem.

$ zfs destroy ${pool_name-filesystem_name}

try on your machine

The command "zfs destroy ${pool_name-filesystem_name}" is used to delete a ZFS filesystem or dataset in a ZFS storage pool. Here's the breakdown of the command: - "zfs destroy": This is the ZFS command that is used to delete or destroy a ZFS filesystem or dataset. - "${pool_name-filesystem_name}": This is a variable that represents the name of the ZFS pool and the name of the specific filesystem or dataset within that pool that you want to destroy. By using the "${pool_name-filesystem_name}" syntax, it allows you to specify different pool names and filesystem names depending on your specific setup. So, when you run this command, you need to replace "${pool_name-filesystem_name}" with the actual names of the ZFS pool and the filesystem or dataset you want to delete.
