Deleting a dedicated public subnet
A dedicated public subnet becomes billable the moment it is created. The minimum rent period is one month, so you cannot delete a public subnet during the first month after the order date.
Warning
Deleting a dedicated public subnet is irreversible. Following the deletion, the subnet's IP addresses will return to the Yandex BareMetal shared address pool and can be reassigned to other users.
- In the management console, select the folder the public subnet belongs to.
- Go to BareMetal.
- In the left-hand panel, select Public addresses and subnets.
- Click next to the subnet and select Delete.
- In the window that opens, confirm the deletion.
If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, install and initialize it.
The folder used by default is the one specified when creating the CLI profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also specify a different folder for any command using --folder-name or --folder-id. If you access a resource by its name, the search will be limited to the default folder. If you access a resource by its ID, the search will be global, i.e., through all folders based on access permissions.
