Documented steps
Authenticate (fly auth). Run `fly apps destroy <app-name> [more names...] -y` to delete the app(s).
The -y/--yes flag accepts the confirmation prompts non-interactively (also --auto-confirm) — useful for automation.
Deleting an app removes its Machines and app-level configuration from the Fly platform.
Verify deletion with `fly apps list` or `fly status -a <app>` (which should now fail/return not found).
Known gotchas
Destroy is permanent and non-recoverable — the app, machines, and secrets are gone.
Fly Postgres clusters and volumes are separate resources: destroying the app does NOT automatically delete its attached volumes or (managed) database cluster — clean those up separately to avoid lingering charges.
Use -y in scripts or the CLI will block on an interactive confirmation.
