Delete cloud server
The local boot disk is deleted with the server, the network boot disk can be unsubscribe before removal.
When you remove the server, boot disks and additional disks, if you choose to remove them, are destroyed by the cloud platform's built-in tools. Software-defined storage breaks information into a large number of blocks and stores them on different physical disks — this makes it impossible to recover information if one of the disks is physically accessed. If a physical disk fails, it is connected to the service hardware. If the disk is detected, it is completely wiped by software, if it is not detected, it is decommissioned and destroyed.
Once deleted, the cloud server and its disks cannot be restored.
