Read a Command - DROP STAGE
Link- https://docs.snowflake.com/en/sql-reference/sql/drop-stage.html

Removes the specified named internal or external stage from the


current/specified schema. The status of the files in the stage depends on the
stage type:

● For an internal stage, all of the files in the stage are purged from
Snowflake, regardless of their load status. This prevents the files
from continuing to using storage and, consequently, accruing storage
charges. However, this also means that the staged files cannot be
recovered after a stage is dropped.(was asked as T/F)
● For an external stage, only the stage itself is dropped; any data files
in the referenced external location (Amazon S3, Google Cloud
Storage, or Microsoft Azure) are not removed.
