To send an email to the owner and perform the standard VM actions, as appropriate and/or supported by the provider, use the buttons on the control panel.

Delete a public cloud account

It is possible to release a public cloud account without deleting the resources in public cloud. This means that the enterprise cannot work with the public cloud regions in the platform but the enterprise's resources in public cloud will remain intact. 

To delete virtual resources in the provider, delete them in the platform before you delete the account.

To delete resources in the platform only, you can select this option when deleting or you can delete the enterprise's credentials and then delete the resources. There are virtual resources that you may not wish to delete in the provider, for example, the default VPC.

If you wish to use the account again, you can add the credentials again. After that you can synchronize to onboard resources from public cloud to update the resources in the platform.
