Delete a reserved IP

Deleting a reserved IP releases it from your account. For a public IP, this also stops its monthly charge. A VPC IP gives both of its addresses, the IP and the Egress IP, back to the VPC.

Before you begin

You need a role with Delete permission on reserved IPs. The IP must be Available, so if it is Attached, detach it from every resource first. A deleted IP is released from your account for good.

To use a VPC IP in another project, delete it and reserve a new one there. Only a public IP can be transferred.

Delete a public IP

1. In TIR, open your project. In the side menu, under PLATFORM SERVICES, select Networking, then Reserve IP.
2. In the row of the IP, open the Action menu and select Delete Reserve IP. This choice is available while the IP is Available.
3. In Delete Reserve IP, tick “I understand and want to delete Reserve IP” with the address shown.
4. Select Delete.

The IP leaves the Manage Reserved IP list, and its charge stops.

Delete a VPC IP

2. In the row of the VPC IP, open the Action menu and select Delete VPC IP. This choice is available while the IP is Available.
3. In Delete VPC IP, tick “I understand and want to delete VPC IP” with the address shown.
4. Select Delete.

The VPC IP leaves the Manage Reserved IP list and is released.
