Terraform is an open-source infrastructure as a code software tool that allows you to manage hundreds of cloud services using a uniform CLI approach. Terraform uses declarative configuration files to codify cloud APIs.

When you use the "local_file" as resource provider to create a file, for example in the /root/my_files.
If the folder "my_files" does not exist, "terraform apply" will create it, however, when you run "terraform destroy", it will not
clean up or remove the "my_files". Any idea on how to clean or destroy resources completely? thanks
