# Delete a Cloud GPU VM

Deleting a Cloud GPU VM permanently removes it from your infrastructure. You can delete the VM only, or remove its associated storage devices. Once deleted, any IP addresses assigned to the VM are deallocated and billing stops immediately.

1\. In the **DCD**, go to **Menu** > **Virtual Data Centers**.

2\. Select the data center where the Cloud GPU VM is configured.

3\. Select the respective **Cloud GPU VM** in the Workspace.

4\. Right-click the **GPU** element to open its context menu and select **Delete Server**, or select the **GPU** element and press the **delete** key on your keyboard.
