How to Delete Vultr Storage Gateway

Vultr Storage Gateway (an NFS Gateway for Vultr File System) provides NFS access to VFS volumes from Vultr Bare Metal or Cloud Compute instances. When you no longer need a gateway, you can delete it to stop further charges. Deleting a storage gateway is permanent and cannot be undone. This action does not delete your VFS volumes—your data remains safe and intact.
