This course is designed to help learners obtain the Terraform Associate certification from HashiCorp. 

You’ve likely picked up this course because you dabbled in Terraform as a hobbyist or in a
development environment, and you’re excited about the possibilities of deploying Infrastructure 
as Code (IaC). It will enable you to sharpen your skills and prove your knowledge with a certification from HashiCorp. Terraform is an amazing tool to deploy Infrastructure as Code in a cloud-agnostic way. We’re excited to share our accumulated knowledge with you through this course.

# The `rm` subcommand

The `terraform state rm` command is used to remove items from the Terraform state.

## Syntax
The `rm` subcommand has the following syntax: `terraform state rm [options] ADDRESS`.

## Use of the `terraform state rm` command

We can use this command to remove a single resource, a single instance of a resource, entire modules, and more. The resources removed by the command are removed from the state file but aren’t destroyed in the target environment.

The most common use for the `rm` command is to remove a resource from Terraform management. The resource may be added to another configuration and imported, or perhaps Terraform is being replaced by something else. In either case, the goal is to remove the reference to the resource without deleting the actual resource.

## How to apply the `terraform state rm` command

Let’s say that we’re no longer going to manage our `aws_s3_bucket` with Terraform. First, we can run the `terraform state rm` command:

```
$> terraform state rm aws_s3_bucket.terraform_test_bucket_edu
Removed aws_s3_bucket.terraform_test_bucket_edu
Successfully removed 1 resource instance(s).
```

Next, we execute the following command to show the Terraform state list. This command lists all resources in the state file so we can choose which resource item we want to delete.
