Comment 1 Nadav Halevy 2019-02-27 13:54:54 UTC 
openstack stack delete overcloud --yes --wait

Suggest also to mention that if you run the above command you can see the progress instead of having to repeatedly run 'openstack stack list' to see if it has completed.
Comment 2 Dan Macpherson 2019-05-01 13:32:30 UTC 
There's legitimacy to this BZ. However, the only thing to be aware of is that customers who have created their overcloud and are updating with "openstack overcloud deploy" might run into a failure and think they have to run "openstack overcloud delete", which they shouldn't do because it'll delete their running overcloud. Might require a note to specify this information.
