Delete a disk

Deleting a disk removes it and everything on it for good, and stops billing for it. A disk is billed from the moment you create it until you delete it, mounted or unmounted, in use or idle. Delete a disk you have finished with.

Before you begin

• Permission to delete datasets in the project. A Member gets it through a policy that allows deleting datasets.
• Copies of anything you need, such as in TIR Object Storage. Deleting a disk is permanent.
• The disk unmounted. You can delete a disk only after you unmount it from its instance or Virtual Machine. See Unmount a disk from an instance.

Delete the disk

1. In Block Storage (Disk Dataset), find the disk’s row.
2. Under Actions, select Delete Dataset.
3. Confirm with Delete.
