# Delete a service
***
If you no longer need a service created with a one-click installer, you delete the entire virtual machine for it. Note that this will remove all data stored in it!
{% hint style="danger" %}
Deleting a service will delete all data associated with it, and the entire virtual machine that runs it.
{% endhint %}
Click **Virtual machines** under **Compute**. Then locate the virtual machine created with the one-click installer. It's named after the subdomain and domain you chose when setting up the service. For example, for GitLab, this is most likely something like `source.example.com`. But make sure it's the correct server before deleting it!
Once you have located the virtual machine, click **Actions** and **Delete server**.
A dialog box opens where you need to confirm the deletion by typing the name of the virtual machine in the text field. Here, you also have the option ot keep the IP addresses after the virtual machine is deleted.
Click the **Delete** when you have confirmed that this is the correct virtual machine, and made sure you no longer need any of the data in it.
## Clean up the DNS
You might also want to remove the subdomain that was used by the service. To do so, click **DNS** in the left-hand menu and select the domain name. Then, click the **red cross** next to the subdomain you want to remove from the DNS.
