This page explains how to manage and delete your Apache Spark™ cluster.

<Requirements />

- A Scaleway account logged into the [console](https://console.scaleway.com)
- [Owner](/iam/concepts/#owner) status or [IAM permissions](/iam/concepts/#permission) allowing you to perform actions in the intended Organization
- Created an [Apache Spark™ cluster](/apache-spark/how-to/create-spark-cluster/)

## How to manage an Apache Spark™ cluster

1. Click **Apache Spark™** under **Data & Analytics** on the side menu. The **Clusters for Apache Spark™** page displays.

2. Click the name of the cluster you want to manage. The **Overview** tab of the cluster displays. From this page, you can:
    - Consult the configuration of your cluster.
    - View the network information of your cluster.
    - [Access the Apache Spark™ UI](/apache-spark/how-to/access-spark-ui/) of your cluster.
    - [Access the notebook environment](/apache-spark/how-to/access-notebook/) of your cluster.

3. Click the **Settings** tab.

4. From this view, you can:
    - Add, consult, or delete tags for your cluster.
    - Update the number of worker nodes provisioned for your cluster.
        <Message type="note">
        Provisioning zero worker nodes lets you retain and access you cluster and notebook configurations, but will not allow you to run calculations.
        </Message>
    - [Delete your cluster](#how-to-delete-an-apache-sparktm-cluster).

<Message type="note">
Once you have created a cluster, you cannot edit the node type. You must [create a new cluster](/apache-spark/how-to/create-spark-cluster/) instead.
