rm

cfnrain rm <stack> deletes a stack and waits until the delete completes. It asks you to confirm first. remove, del and delete are aliases.

cfnrain rm app-dev
cfnrain rm app-dev -y

If the stack has termination protection, cfnrain asks whether to turn it off. With -y it turns it off without a question.

-y, --yes Do not ask questions
-d, --detach Start the delete and exit
--role-arn The IAM role that CloudFormation assumes to delete the stack
-c, --changeset Delete a change set instead of a stack: cfnrain rm -c <stack> <changeset>
--experimental Needed when a bucket in the stack has Metadata.Rain
