# Delete a volume
Deleting a volume deletes all data stored in it.

## Delete a volume using the control panel
To delete a volume you no longer need, click **Actions** on the volume's overview page, and then **Delete**.
A new dialog box opens where you need to confirm the deletion. Type the name of the volume in the text field, then click **Delete**. Please note that all data on the volume will be permanently deleted.
## Delete a volume using the API
Use the [filestorage/deletevolume](https://github.com/GleSYS/API-docs/wiki/API-Documentation#filestoragedeletevolume) endpoint to delete a volume.
