# metalcloud-cli firmware-baseline delete

Delete a firmware baseline permanently

## Synopsis

Delete a firmware baseline permanently.

This command removes a firmware baseline definition from the system. This action is irreversible
and will delete all associated configuration data, component specifications, and deployment policies.

Note: Deleting a firmware baseline does not affect the underlying firmware catalogs or binaries.
Only the baseline definition and its configuration are removed.

Before deletion, ensure that:
- No active deployments are using this baseline
- No automated processes reference this baseline
- You have backups of the configuration if needed for future reference

Arguments:
  firmware_baseline_id    The ID of the firmware baseline to delete

Examples:
  metalcloud-cli firmware-baseline delete 54321
  metalcloud-cli fw-baseline rm production-baseline-v2.1
  metalcloud-cli baseline delete dell-r640-standard
