This page describes how to initiate a VM deletion process.

Preparation for deletion:

• Shut down the VM. The field "Power Status" on the VM information page reflects the status of the VM. Please note that this field is not updated in real-time, so it may take some time for the power status to change.
• Ensure that there are no important data left on the VM, as deleting the VM cannot be rolled back.

Please proceed as follows to request the deletion of a VM:

1. Go to List VM  ans click on the name of the VM you wish to delete.
2. Click Delete VM:
   
   


3. Confirm the deletion. If you are not a contact person for the VM, you must select a contact person from the dropdown menu. The selected person will be notified via e-mail about the deletion request and can confirm or decline it via a link in the e-mail. The link is valid for 2 weeks from the date of application:
   
   

Once the VM has been successfully deleted, you will receive an e-mail confirmation.

Please note:
There can only be one request per VM at any given time. After submitting your request, you must wait until it has been approved or denied before you can submit a new request.
