Delete a virtual machine using the control panel

To delete a VM, click Actions in the top-right corner of the VM's overview page. From here, click Delete server.

This action will permanently delete all data associated with the server, including backups.

A new window will open where you need to confirm the deletion. Here, you need to type the name of the VM in the text field. You can also choose to keep the VM's IP addresses, which is the default choice. Next, click Delete.

The VM will now be deleted immediately.
