Delete a Secret

novita.secret.delete() deletes an active Secret by name. A deleted Secret can no longer be referenced by new sandbox create, resume, or clone operations; already-running sandboxes are not rewritten. It returns the name of the deleted Secret.

Example

from novita_sandbox import Novita

secret_name = "<your-secret-name>"

novita = Novita()

deleted_name = novita.secret.delete(secret_name)
print("Deleted:", deleted_name)

import { Novita } from 'novita-sandbox'

const secretName = '<your-secret-name>'

const novita = new Novita()

const deletedName = await novita.secret.delete(secretName)
console.log('Deleted:', deletedName)

novita secret delete <secret_name>

Deleting a Secret does not rewrite already-running sandboxes; it only prevents new create, resume, and clone operations from referencing it. The underlying retired value is cleaned up asynchronously once no active execution authorization references it. You can reuse the same name to create a new Secret, which gets a new version and placeholder.
