How to Delete Snapshots

1 min readUpdated 23 October 2026

Delete a snapshot from your Vultr account after restoring or provisioning from it. This cannot be undone.

Deleting snapshots completely removes the resource from your account. You should only do this operation after restoring a snapshot to a Vultr Cloud Compute instance or after provisioning a Vultr Cloud Compute instance using the snapshot image. After deleting a snapshot, you can't undo the operation, so you should take great care.

Follow this guide to delete snapshots using the Vultr Console, API, CLI, or Terraform.

Navigate to Products and select Orchestration.
Click Snapshots. Select the target snapshot from the list and click the delete icon to remove the snapshot.
Click Remove Snapshot to confirm.
