Software Deinstallation on Cloud-Specific Images

You can deinstall the Charon RPM packages as described above.

To permanently remove your Charon cloud instance, select your instance from the list of active virtual machines and select to terminate or delete the instance. Please refer to your cloud provider documentation for details about this operation.

This will stop the instance and remove it. Unless your data (configuration files, vdisk containers, etc.) was stored on a separate disk volume, it will also be removed (this may be dependent on cloud-specific settings).

Please note: make sure you backup any data you wish to retain before terminating an instance.
