# Delete cloud server volume

[A local disk](/cloud-servers/volumes/about-local-disks.mdx) can only be removed together with the server it is attached to.

[Network volumes](/cloud-servers/volumes/about-network-volumes.mdx) can be removed together with the server or detached from the server and removed separately.

:::danger

If you delete a volume, the data cannot be recovered. We recommend creating a copy of the data before deleting the volume: [create a volume image](/cloud-servers/images/create-image.mdx#create-image-from-volume) or [create another volume](/cloud-servers/volumes/create-volume.mdx) from this volume. Volume snapshots will be deleted along with the volume.

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

    2. If the volume is attached to a cloud server, detach it from the server:

       ```

       Specify:

       * `<server>` — the server ID or name. You can view the list using the `openstack server list`
       * `<volume>` — the volume ID or name. You can view the list using the `openstack volume list`

    3. Delete the volume:

       ```bash
       openstack volume delete <volume>
       ```
