Usage: terraform [global options] state rm [options] ADDRESS...

  Remove one or more items from the Terraform state, causing Terraform to
  "forget" those items without first destroying them in the remote system.

  This command removes one or more resource instances from the Terraform state
  based on the addresses given. You can view and list the available instances
  with "terraform state list".

  If you give the address of an entire module then all of the instances in
  that module and any of its child modules will be removed from the state.

  If you give the address of a resource that has "count" or "for_each" set,
  all of the instances of that resource will be removed from the state.

Options:

  -dry-run                If set, prints out what would've been removed but
                          doesn't actually remove anything.

  -backup=PATH            Path where Terraform should write the backup
                          state.

  -lock=false             Don't hold a state lock during the operation. This is
                          dangerous if others might concurrently run commands
                          against the same workspace.

  -lock-timeout=0s        Duration to retry a state lock.

  -state=PATH             Path to the state file to update. Defaults to the
                          current workspace state.
                          Legacy option for the local backend only. See
                          the local backend's documentation for more
                          information.

  -ignore-remote-version  Continue even if remote and local Terraform versions
                          are incompatible. This may result in an unusable
                          workspace, and should be used with extreme caution.
