# Delete a Kubernetes cluster

> Remove a cluster and all its infrastructure

<sub>Updated August 24, 2026</sub>

Deleting a cluster removes its nodes, gateway, VPC, reserved IPs and DNS records. **All workloads and data on the cluster are destroyed** — this cannot be undone.

## Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Settings → Danger zone">
    On the cluster page, open **Settings** and click **Delete Cluster**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm by typing the cluster name">
    Deletion runs in the background and finishes in a couple of minutes. Subscription clusters have their remaining balance credited back automatically.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  If part of the teardown fails, the cluster stays visible with a **Delete failed** badge and nothing is removed or billed incorrectly — click **Retry delete** to run it again.
