Deletes a Linode.

🚧

Deleting a Linode is a destructive action and can't be undone.

Consider these points before deleting a Linode:

• Any unreserved (ephemeral) IP addresses assigned to the Linode are given up. Reserved IP addresses remain on your account and available to assign to another Linode or NodeBalancer within the same region. Reserved IP fees remain active as long as the address is held on your account, regardless of its assignment status.

• All disks, backups, configuration profiles, and interfaces assigned to the Linode are also are deleted.

• Any Block Storage volumes assigned to the Linode are detached.

• Billing for the Linode and its associated services stops. You're billed for time used within the billing period the Linode was active.

• You can't delete a Linode that's currently being cloned or restored from a backup.

• You can't delete a Linode that has a cannot_delete or cannot_delete_with_subresources resource lock set for it.
