Delete VMs
Deleting a ccloud³ VM will permanently and irrevocably delete it. Optionally, you can also destroy a ccloud³ VM and all associated snapshots, volumes and volume snapshots.
To save one or more of the backup images, convert the backup into a snapshot before deleting the ccloud³ VM.
Deleting a ccloud³ VM also deletes its cBacks; there is no fixed retention period. To retain backup images, convert the backups to snapshots before deleting the VM.
