Open the tab with your servers. Click on the one you need and click on the Delete button. After clicking, you will see a confirmation window. Click on Ok if you want to delete your server, click on Cancel if you do not.

**Note** : after deletion, there is no way to restore the server!

## You received an error while deleting a server. What should you do?

Most likely, you are trying to delete a Virtual Server that you bought less than a month ago. You can't do that because 1 month is the minimum term for ordering a service.

You can get the details of the error by hovering over exclamation mark icon.
