# Delete cloud server network volume backup

[Full backups](/cloud-servers/backups/about-backups.mdx#full-backup) can be deleted one by one.

[Incremental backups](/cloud-servers/backups/about-backups.mdx#incremental-backup) are deleted only as a chain of backups created within a single plan. If you delete any one backup from the chain—either an incremental or a full one—all backups in the chain will be deleted.

A backup can be deleted if it is in the `AVAILABLE` or `ERROR` status. For a backup chain, all backups must have these statuses. If you need to delete backups in other statuses, [create a ticket](https://my.selectel.ru/tickets/create/).

1. In the [Control panel](https://my.selectel.ru/vpc/default/servers/), on the top menu, click **Products** and select **Cloud Servers**.
2. Go to the **Backups** section.
3. In the <MoreVerticalIcon /> backup menu, select **Delete backup**.
4. Enter the backup name to confirm deletion.
5. Click **Delete**.
