Scheduling and Un-scheduling Deletion for Standalone Machines

Why should you care about the deletion schedule?

If you're using a Standalone machine to carry on working on a lab from a previous course, or as a Trainer preparing a course, there's no need to worry about this.

However, to make better use of system resources, any standalone machine that hasn’t been used for more than a month will be scheduled for automatic deletion, and we’ll send you a reminder 7 days beforehand.

You can also cancel that deletion schedule.
