# Delete a cloud server

:::danger

After deletion, a cloud server and its volumes cannot be recovered.

:::

The local boot volume is deleted along with the server, while a network boot volume can be [detached from the server](/cloud-servers/volumes/attach-detach-volume.mdx#detach-network-volume-from-server) before deletion.

<Tabs queryString="delete-server">
  <TabItem value="panel" default>
    <TabItemLabel>
      Control panel
    </TabItemLabel>

    1. To save data, [detach the network boot volume from the server](/cloud-servers/volumes/attach-detach-volume.mdx#detach-network-volume-from-server).

    2. In the [Control panel](https://my.selectel.ru/vpc/default/servers/), on the top menu, click **Products** and select **Cloud Servers**.

    3. In the <MoreVerticalIcon /> server menu, select **Delete server**.

    4. Optional: select the volumes and public IP addresses you want to delete along with the server.

    If network ports are connected to the server, they will not be deleted when using OpenStack CLI, they will only be disconnected from the server. To delete a port, use the [Delete port](/cloud-servers/cloud-networks/ports.mdx#delete-port) instructions.

    1. [Open the OpenStack CLI](/cloud-servers/tools/openstack-cli/).

    2. To save data, [detach the network boot volume from the server](/cloud-servers/volumes/attach-detach-volume.mdx#detach-network-volume-from-server).

    3. Delete the cloud server:

       ```bash
       openstack server delete <server>
       ```

       Specify `<server>` — the server ID or name. You can view the list of servers using the `openstack server list`
