Question

is there a way to destroy a single resource with pulumi inline I d love to be able to call a delete method to delete a temporary resourced after it s no longer needed

you can do targetted destroys with ` target urn ` and there is also ` target dependents` to tell it to destroy the children of your targets as well Can get messy if there are a lot of children but if it is a resource that has no dependents it shouldn t be bad

A flag in code may be more appropriate If the temporary resource is skipped because it s in an if statement or similar then it will be destroyed the next time you `up`

If you destroy it without removing it from the code then you risk 1 having it magically reappear at some point in the future when Pulumi noticies it s missing from state and provider and 2 having your code mislead people reading your code because it s describing something other than reality
