Deleting a desktop

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

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

  3. In the left-hand panel, select Desktops.

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

    Tip

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

  5. 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 description of the CLI command for deleting a desktop:

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

    yc desktops desktop list
    

    Result:

    +----------------------+------------------+--------+----------------------+---------------------+
    |          ID          |       NAME       | STATUS |   DESKTOP GROUP ID   |   CREATED (UTC-0)   |
    +----------------------+------------------+--------+----------------------+---------------------+
    | e3vmvhgbgac4******** | my-cloud-desktop | ACTIVE | e3v1rbln45tl******** | 2024-10-09 22:42:28 |
    | e3vio1bc5ppz******** | reserved-desktop | ACTIVE | e3v1rbln45tl******** | 2024-10-09 21:35:17 |
    +----------------------+------------------+--------+----------------------+---------------------+
    
  3. Select the desktop ID or NAME, e.g., my-cloud-desktop.

  4. Delete the desktop:

    yc desktops desktop delete <desktop_name_or_ID>
    

Use the delete REST API method for the Desktop resource or the DesktopService/Delete gRPC API call.
