Deleting and/or renaming apps

Hey there – it’s not currently possible to rename an app (in part because, as you’ve noticed, they are used to create your app’s hostname on fly.dev).

You can definitely delete your app! The command is fly apps destroy. So it sounds like you’d want to re-create your apps with a different name.

A few commands that might come in handy here:

  • You can list all apps with fly apps list;
  • view their configs with fly config display -a $app-name,
  • and check what image you’re using with fly images show -a $app-name.

If you haven’t already, it’s definitely worth enabling fly completion for your shell-- this makes exploring our docstrings for flyctl subcommands a lot easier!
