The `destroy` command permanently removes files both from your home
directory and chezmoi's source directory.

Only run `chezmoi destroy` if you have a separate backup of your home
directory and your source directory.

If you want chezmoi to stop managing the file use [`forget`][forget]
instead.

If you want to remove all traces of chezmoi from your system use
[`purge`][purge] instead.
