Delete a server using the control panel

To delete a server and all of its data, including the backups, click on the server in the control panel.

Next, click on Actions and then Delete server.

You then need to verify that you want to delete everything associated with the VM. To confirm, you must enter the VM's name in the text field. You also have the choice to keep the VM's IP addresses in the project once the VM is deleted. In this case, we opt to keep them. Once you are sure you want to delete the server and all of its data, click Delete.

All data associated with the VM will be deleted, including all backups.

Delete a server using the API

To delete a virtual machine using the API, use the server/destroy endpoint.
