# delete-backend

Deletes Backends.

In addition to the global `dsconfig` options, the `dsconfig delete-backend` subcommand takes the following options:

* `--backend-name {name}`

  The name of the Backend.

* `-f | --force`

  Ignore non-existent Backends.\
  Default: false

Properties used in options depend on the type of object to configure.

For details about available properties, see [Backend](objects-backend.html).
