Terraform Gurus, I am trying to delete one VM from a bunch of VMs. Right now, I have two VMs but that number could vary. I am looking for the ability to delete a specific VM. I am familiar with terraform destroy command but puzzled by why it's unable to recognize the match. I am running the below version on Apple M1 mac

% terraform --version
Terraform v1.5.4
on darwin_arm64


% terraform state list |grep -i instance

module.gce_instances.google_compute_instance.demo_gce[0]
module.gce_instances.google_compute_instance.demo_gce[1]


% terraform destroy -target module.gce_instances.google_compute_instance.demo_gce[1]
zsh: no matches found: module.gce_instances.google_compute_instance.demo_gce[1]

    I'm guessing you need something like this: terraform destroy -target 'module.gce_instances.google_compute_instance.demo_gce[1]'. Commented Sep 28, 2023 at 14:28
