# Delete snapshot

Available in VPC

To delete the created snapshot, follow these steps:

              Caution

              

Deleted snapshot data can't be recovered. Make sure to review carefully before deleting.

- When deleting HDD/SSD and CB1/FB1-based snapshots
  - To delete a full snapshot used as the base snapshot of an incremental snapshot, you must delete all related incremental snapshots beforehand.
  - For incremental snapshots, you can start deleting from the snapshot that was created last.
    - If you have 7 incremental snapshots and want to delete the 5th incremental snapshot, you need to select and delete the 7th, 6th, and 5th incremental snapshots.
- When deleting CB2/FB2-based snapshots
  - You can delete regardless of the snapshot creation order. (The first, middle, or last snapshot in the chain can be deleted)
  - Deleting a snapshot may change the actual size of other snapshots from the same original storage, and the snapshot billing capacity may also change.
  - For more information on the billing of each case of deleting CB2/FB2 snapshots, see the [Billing impact for each case of CB2/FB2 snapshot deletion](/docs/en/server-snapshot-delete-vpc#CB2FB2%EC%8A%A4%EB%83%85%EC%83%B7%EC%82%AD%EC%A0%9C%EC%BC%80%EC%9D%B4%EC%8A%A4%EB%B3%84%EA%B3%BC%EA%B8%88%EC%98%81%ED%96%A5%EB%8F%84).

              Note

              

- To delete a KVM-based snapshot used for creating a server image, [first delete the server image](/docs/en/server-serverimage-vpc#%EB%82%B4%EC%84%9C%EB%B2%84%EC%9D%B4%EB%AF%B8%EC%A7%80%EC%82%AD%EC%A0%9C) created.

## Delete snapshot

1. In the VPC environment of the NAVER Cloud Platform console, navigate to **Menu** > **All Services** > **Compute** > **Server**.
2. Click the **Snapshot** menu.
3. Click to select the snapshot to delete from the snapshot list, and click the **[Delete snapshot]** button.
4. Check the details in the confirmation popup window and click the **[Yes]** button.
  - The snapshot is deleted and disappears from the list.

## Billing impact for each case of CB2/FB2 snapshot deletion

Deleting a CB2 or FB2 snapshot can impact the billing capacity of other snapshots as follows:

              Caution

              

- The first snapshot in a snapshot chain is billed based on total capacity (virtual), while all subsequent snapshots are billed according to their used capacity (actual).
- When a snapshot is deleted, both the target snapshot and its child snapshots are affected.
- Since the used capacity (actual) is the metadata for changes, deleting a middle snapshot in the snapshot chain may modify the actual capacity of the child snapshots.
