+# Removing existing resources
+
+Although `terraform state rm` allows to remove _individual_ resources, but when a real-world resource is composed of multiple terraform resources, using `terraform state rm` becomes tedious and error-prone. Even worse when multiple high-level resources are removed together.
+
+Thus, `terravalet remove` parses a plan file and creates all the `state rm` commands for you.
+
+1. Remove the resources in the Terraform configuration files.
+2. Generate the plan file:
+   ```
+   $ terraform -chdir=<the tf root> plan -no-color > remove-plan.txt
+   ```
+3. Run `terravalet remove`. As usual, this is a safe operation, since it will only generate a script file:
+   ```
+   $ terravalet remove --up=remove.sh --plan=remove-plan.txt
+   ```
+4. Carefully examine the generated script file `remove.sh`!
+5. Execute the scrip.
+   ```
+   $ sh ./remove.sh
+   ```
