Delete an instance from helix.toml and clean up any local runtime state for it. For local instances, Helix-owned containers, networks, disk-mode volumes, and the per-instance directory under .helix/ are deleted. For V2 Cloud instances, only the [enterprise.<name>] block in helix.toml and any local workspace state are removed — the cluster itself is untouched.

​

​
Confirmation behavior

In a TTY, helix delete prints a warning and asks for confirmation. In non-TTY environments it refuses to run without --yes: 
Refusing to delete '<instance>' non-interactively. Re-run with --yes to confirm.
