kosh delete

Permanently delete a credential from the active profile's vault by its numeric ID.

Delete a credential from the active profile’s vault, identified by its numeric ID.

Terminal window
kosh delete <id>

Arguments: exactly one — the numeric ID from kosh list.

Process

Section titled “Process”
  1. The master password is verified.
  2. The exact credential to be deleted is shown.
  3. A caution block is printed.
  4. You must type the confirmation phrase delete <label> <user>.

Notes

Section titled “Notes”
  • Deletion is permanent. The vault is opened with secure_delete enabled, so the row is overwritten on disk; there is no undo and no trash to restore from.
  • Anything other than the exact confirmation phrase cancels the operation.
