First you must initialize the saved state. This creates the file saved_state.json, which prevents the cleanup from deleting objects that need to be kept. Typically you would run cleanup with --init-saved-state prior to a tempest run. If this is not the case, saved_state.json must be edited to remove objects you want cleanup to delete.

# tempest cleanup --init-saved-state

Run the cleanup:

# tempest cleanup

A dry run lists the files that would be deleted by a cleanup, but does not delete any files. The files are listed in the dry_run.json file.

# tempest cleanup --dry-run

Delete users and tenants created by tempest:

# tempest cleanup --delete-tempest-conf-objects
