How to Delete Vultr File System Volume

Updated on 11 September, 2025

Learn how to permanently delete a Vultr File System Volume from your account.

Deleting a Vultr File System volume removes the serverless storage from your account and stops further charges. Backup any important files before performing this operation because you can't undo the change. You can migrate the files to a different Vultr File System volume or a Vultr Cloud Compute instance. Detach all Vultr Cloud Compute instances from the volume before deleting.

Follow this guide to delete Vultr File System volume using the Vultr Customer Portal or Terraform.

  • Vultr Customer Portal
  • Terraform
  1. Navigate to Products and select Cloud Storage.
  2. Click File System. Then, select the target Vultr File System volume.
  3. Click the delete icon to remove the volume.
  4. Click Delete when prompted to confirm.

  1. Open your Terraform configuration where the File System resource is defined.

  2. Remove the vultr_vfs resource block, or destroy it by target.

    terraform 
    resource "vultr_vfs" "file_system" {
    # ...existing fields (label, region, size_gb)
}

# To delete, either remove this block from configuration
# or run: terraform destroy -target vultr_vfs.file_system

  3. Apply the configuration and observe the following output:

    Apply complete! Resources: 0 added, 0 changed, 1 destroyed.
