This will take 10-15 minutes.

Deleting a Space

A space that has been created and deployed incurs costs. Instances that are running are much more costly than when they are off. However there are still charges for instances that are off, especially if they have large disks.

It is therefore recommended that instances are destroyed when they are no longer in use.

Note: You must first perform a Delete all before a deployed space can be deleted.

  • Delete all: All virtual instances that Viz Now has deployed are deleted from the Cloud Account. All configurations will be lost but the space itself is not yet deleted from Viz Now database.

  • Delete: The space is deleted from the Viz Now database.

To Delete all content deployed in a Space

This will remove all virtual machines and storage. Make sure you have saved any work elsewhere before doing this.

  1. Open the space you want to delete (must be Deployed).

  2. From the three dots menu, select Delete all.
