Delete an instance

If a STACKIT Server instance is no longer needed, it can be easily deleted. This page describes how this works and what to look out for.

Delete a server:

1. On the project overview navigate to Computing —> Server.
2. Option 1 From the list of your servers click on the three dots button at the right end and choose Delete.
