Delete Volume

This guide walks you through the steps to delete a volume—either a root or data volume—from your cloud management portal. Deleting unused volumes helps manage storage quotas and keep your workspace clean.

Warning: Once a volume is deleted, it cannot be recovered. Make sure you’ve backed up any data you need before proceeding.

Before You Begin​

To delete a volume, it must not be attached to a virtual machine (VM).

  • If the volume is still attached to a VM, you won’t see the delete option.

  • This applies to both root and data volumes.

Make sure the volume is detached from its VM before continuing.

Volume Deletion​

1. Accessing the Volume Section :​

  • Log in to your Cloud Management Portal using your authorized credentials.

  • From the left navigation pane, go to:
    Compute → Volume

  • A list of all root and data volumes associated with your cloud account will be displayed.

2. Detach the Volume :​

  • If your volume is still attached to a VM, stop the VM and detach the volume first.

  • Once detached, the delete option will become available.

3. Volume Deletion :​

  • Find the volume you want to delete.

  • Click the ** Delete** icon under the Actions column.

4. Confirm the Deletion :​

A confirmation pop-up will appear:

“Are you sure you want to delete this volume?”

  • Click OK to confirm and delete.

  • Click Cancel to go back without deleting.

After Deletion​

  • The volume will be removed from your volume list.

  • This action frees up your storage quota.

  • Deleted volumes cannot be restored, so be sure before you proceed.
