Schedule or cancel deletion of a standalone machine

Why should you care about the deletion schedule?

If you're using a standalone machine to keep working on a lab from a previous course, or as a trainer getting ready for a course, you've got nothing to worry about.

But to better conserve system resources, we’ll automatically schedule deletion for any standalone machines that sit idle for over a month here in New Zealand, and give you a 7-day heads-up beforehand.

You can also cancel the deletion schedule.
