Delete a server
Permanently delete a server, unlock it, and understand the refund rules.
Before deleting
Deleting a server is permanent and erases all data on the server, including additional disks. If you need the data, take a backup first.
Delete the server
- Open the server.
- Select the Settings tab.
- Find the Delete Server section.
- Click Delete Server.
- Type the server name to confirm and delete it.
Locked servers
If the server is locked, click Unlock in the top action bar first. A locked server cannot be deleted.
Deleting a server cannot be undone. The server does not go to the Trash, and there is no restore option.
Cost and refunds
- If the server was bought with a prepaid period, the remaining days are lost after deletion.
- Deleting an active server does not automatically refund it.
- If server creation fails, the paid amount is refunded to your balance automatically.
Lock important servers to prevent accidental deletion.
