Releasing Lite Server Resources

You can delete or unsubscribe from the resources that are no longer used. For details about how to stop billing, see Stopping Billing.

Constraints

  • Yearly/Monthly Lite Server resources can be deleted only when they fail to be created or are in the error state. In other states, they can only be unsubscribed from.
  • When you delete a yearly/monthly Lite Server resource, the data disks set on the Server creation page will be automatically deleted for ECSs, BMSs, and supernodes. Data disks that are mounted after the server is created will not be deleted.
  • When you delete a pay-per-use Lite Server resource, the data disks set on the Server creation page will not be deleted for ECSs and BMSs. Data disks that are mounted after the server is created will not be deleted. For supernode resources, the data disks set on the Server creation page will be deleted, but the data disks that are mounted after the server is created will not be deleted.
