Deleting a Core
How to permanently remove a Core from your account.
Deleting a Core permanently removes it from your account. Only Owners and Admins can delete Cores.
There are two ways to delete a Core.
Warning: Deleting a Core is permanent and irreversible. The Core will be removed from your account and CoreServer will stop functioning on that VM. Your underlying VM and its data remain yours, but you will need to re-provision if you want to restore it.
Option 1: Dashboard
- Go to Cores in the dashboard.
- Locate the Core by its IP address.
- Click Delete on that Core.
- Confirm the deletion. The Core is immediately removed from your account.
Option 2: API
You can also delete a Core programmatically using the Provisioner API.
curl -k -X POST https://178.156.242.210:4445/core-delete \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"account_id": "your-account-id",
"ip": "<ip address of the Core>"
}'
| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
account_id | Yes | Your Federated Enterprise account ID. |
ip | Yes | The IP address of the Core to delete. |
A successful request returns an empty JSON object ({}).
Billing After Deletion
Deleted Cores are removed from your billing at the end of the current billing cycle. You will not be charged for a deleted Core in the following month. There is no prorated refund for the portion of the current month that remains after deletion — the Core runs until the end of the period.
Add-ons on Deleted Cores
Any add-ons attached to a deleted Core are automatically canceled when the Core is deleted. You will not be billed for those add-ons in subsequent billing cycles.
