How to delete connection by name via Network Manager

Question

How do you use nmcli to delete a wifi connection by name?

From what I've read, it only allows deletion via UUID:

nmcli connection delete <uuid>

The simplest way I've found to delete by name is to lookup the UUID from the name and pass that in:

nmcli con delete `nmcli --fields NAME,UUID con list | grep -i mynetworkname | awk '{print $2}'`

Is there a simpler way?

Answer 1

Answer 3

nmcli -f bridge con delete bridge-br0

This will delete it for you
