delete

Delete a Server (attached Volumes are left behind)

Usage

ionosctl compute server delete [flags]

Aliases

For server command:

[s svr]

For delete command:

[d]

Description

Use this command to permanently delete a Server from a Virtual Data Center, or every Server in a datacenter with --all.

NOTE: Deleting a Server does NOT delete its attached storage Volumes — they remain in the datacenter (and continue to be billed) so their data is preserved. Delete them separately if you no longer need them. For a CUBE server, its bundled DAS boot volume is removed together with the server.

Use --wait (-w) to wait for the resource to reach AVAILABLE state. You can force the command to execute without user input using --force option.

Required values to run command:

• Data Center Id

• Server Id
