can you do `pulumi state unprotect` or `pulumi state delete force`

`pulumi state unprotect` is your best option here <https www pulumi com docs reference cli pulumi state unprotect >

cool thanks

wonderful-dog-9045 · Answer

`pulumi state unprotect` was exactly what I was looking for but didnt expect it be hidden under `pulumi state` But now in hindsight it makes sense that way

Would be cool if the error message mentioned that command
