Deleting a Virtual Machine

Deleting a Virtual Machine from a Flexible Resource pool

Written by Matt Cornall

The time has come to retire one of your Virtual Machines and make some room for new services within your resource pool, here's how you delete a VM;

IMPORTANT - All deletions are final, once the request is processed the VM and all associated data is irrevocably lost, ensure you have a backup before performing this work.

  1. Log into your account and using the side-panel select "Services - Flexible Resources"

  2. Select the Resource pool you intend to create a VM on, for new users there may be only one.

  3. In the Resources page locate your VM and on the right-hand side click the red cross, a confirmation box will appear asking you if you are sure, only click "OK" if you are 100% sure that the VM and all associated data should be deleted.

  4. Allow a few moments for the VM to be terminated, the resources will then be re-assigned to your pool.
