Deleting a desktop group

Management console
Yandex Cloud CLI
API
  1. In the management console, select the folder containing your desktop group.

  2. From the list of services, select Cloud Desktop.

  3. Click next to the desktop group you want to delete, then select Delete.

    Tip

    To delete multiple desktop groups, select them in the list and click Delete at the bottom of the screen.

  4. Confirm the deletion.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI installed yet, install and initialize it.

By default, the CLI uses the folder specified when creating the profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific command using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

  1. See the CLI command for the desktop group deletion:

    yc desktops group delete --help
    
  2. Get a list of desktop groups in the default folder:

    yc desktops group list
    

    Result:

    +----------------------+------------------+--------+---------------------+
    |          ID          |       NAME       | STATUS |   CREATED (UTC-0)   |
    +----------------------+------------------+--------+---------------------+
    | e3v1rbln45tl******** | my-desktop-group | ACTIVE | 2024-10-09 20:12:00 |
    | e3v7ikg3d4ga******** | ubuntu-group     | ACTIVE | 2024-10-09 19:34:10 |
    | e3v80f10pc01******** | kosmos-group     | ACTIVE | 2024-10-09 18:58:17 |
    +----------------------+------------------+--------+---------------------+
    
  3. Select the desktop group ID or NAME, e.g., my-desktop-group.

  4. Delete the desktop group:

    yc desktops group delete <desktop_group_name_or_ID>
    

Use the delete REST API method for the DesktopGroup resource or the DesktopGroupService/Delete gRPC API call.
