When you are finished with a virtual machine, you can delete it and stop paying for it at any time. To delete a virtual machine e.g. called 'old1' you would type:
$ bigv vm delete old1
VM old1 was deleted
The VM will be switched off and its discs deleted. If you want to delete a machine in a different group you should type, e.g.
$ bigv vm delete web-old --vm-group snowbother
VM web-old was deleted
You can recover a machine that was deleted using vm undelete, but only for 28 days after the deletion. If you want the machine to be deleted without the option for recovery, use vm purge instead.
