# Delete IP addresses

***

## Delete IP addresses using the control panel

On the **Overview** tab of the **IP addresses** page, you can find all the reserved IP addresses in the project. This includes both IP addresses that were reserved in advance and those assigned to KVM and VMware servers when they were created.

To delete an IP address, click the red cross on the right of the IP address you want to remove from the project. If the cross is gray, the IP address is assigned to a server and cannot be deleted. In that case, it must first be released from the VM. Refer to the section [Delete an IP Address](/products/compute/kvm-virtual-machines/how-tos/manage-virtual-machines.md#delete-an-ip-address) for instructions on how to release an IP address from a VM.

## Delete IP addresses using the API

1. If the IP is attached to a server, you first need to remove it from the server using the [ip/remove](https://github.com/GleSYS/API-docs/wiki/API-Documentation#ipremove) endpoint of the [API](/platform/control-panel/api.md).
2. When the IP is no longer attached to a server, you can remove it from the project using the [ip/release](https://github.com/GleSYS/API-docs/wiki/API-Documentation#iprelease) endpoint.
