Delete resources to stop charges

Last updated on Jul 14, 2026

On Gewape Cloud you pay for what exists, not only for what is switched on. A stopped server, an unused volume, or an idle public address all keep costing until you remove them.

Delete a server

  1. Open Cloud Servers and click the server.
  2. Choose Delete and confirm. Stopping a server does not stop most of its charges; deleting it does.

Delete a volume

A volume bills whether attached or not, and even when the server is off.

  1. Detach it first: from the server or the volume, choose detach.
  2. Open Storage, then Block Storage, select the volume, and delete it.

Release a public IP

  1. Open Networking, then Public IPs.
  2. Select an address you are not using and release it.

Tidy snapshots and backups

Delete old snapshots and backups you no longer need; they use storage.

Deleting is permanent and the data does not come back. If there is any chance you will need it, take a snapshot or copy it to Object Storage first. Afterwards, check Track your usage to confirm nothing is still billing.
