can you tell me what version of the datahub CLI you're running?

oh yup looks like 0.8.43.5 - but you could also have done

datahub --version

any idea here?

so right now I don't actually believe we allow deleting containers through the CLI where you want to remove references as we don't allow deleting a container aspect for an entity. You can always soft delete the container without removing the references, but that could result in some unexpected behavior in the UI... I think the main issue here is we don't have a mechanism to delete (soft or hard) children of a container. with the way it currently works, we can remove references to a deleted entity (like if a dataset has a glossary term attached and you delete the glossary term, you shouldn't see the term on the dataset anymore) but we don't allow actually deleting the children entities - ie. the children of a container

it's something we have on our radar and hope to actually deal with soon@!

Tried this command also but I can still see my instance in UI

datahub delete --urn "urn:li:dataset:(urn:li:dataPlatform:mysql,master,PROD)" --hard
