How to delete an environment

Assume that you have two environments, test and prod. In your overrides file, the definitions might look something like this:

...
envs:
  - name: test
    serviceAccountPaths:
      synchronizer: "your_keypath/synchronizer-manager-service-account.json
      udca: "your_keypath/analytic-agent-service-account.json
  - name: prod
    serviceAccountPaths:
      synchronizer: "your_keypath/synchronizer-manager-service-account.json
      udca: "your_keypath/analytic-agent-service-account.json
...

To delete the prod environment, follow these steps:

Get your gcloud authentication credentials:
```
TOKEN=$(gcloud auth print-access-token)
```

Delete the environment from any associated environment groups, one at a time:

curl -X DELETE -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$ORG_NAME/envgroups/$ENV_GROUP/attachments/prod"

Do a dry run to test removal of the runtime components:

apigeectl delete -f overrides.yaml --env=prod --dry-run=true

If the dry run is error-free, remove the runtime components:
```
apigeectl delete -f overrides.yaml --env=prod
```

Delete the environment from the management plane:

curl -X DELETE -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/$ORG_NAME/environments/prod"

Open your overrides file and remove the prod environment definition from envs and virtualhosts, leaving only the test definitions. For example:

...
envs:
  - name: test
    serviceAccountPaths:
      synchronizer: "your_keypath/synchronizer-manager-service-account.json
      udca: "your_keypath/analytic-agent-service-account.json
...

Save the file.
