To step through this recipe, you will need rhc installed on your machine. Also, you will use the application created in the Creating an OpenShift application using the rhc command-line client recipe.

To delete an application, open a command-line terminal and run the following command:

$ rhc delete-app --app myapp --confirm

The rhc -delete command deletes the application and all its data on the OpenShift server. You cannot roll back this command, so use it with caution. Under the hood, the rhc -delete command makes an HTTP DELETE request to delete the application.
