1. Access the Containers section from the sidebar menu within the Scaleway console, then select Kubernetes. The Kubernetes Kapsule dashboard displays.
2. From the drop-down menu, select the geographical region you want to manage.
3. Locate the cluster you intend to delete, and click the more icon icon next to it. From the drop-down menu, select Delete. This will prompt a pop-up for cluster deletion.
4. In the deletion pop-up, input DELETE to confirm the deletion of your cluster. Ensure to check the box to automatically remove all volumes (including those labeled with volume type “retain”) and Load Balancers whose names commence with the cluster ID. Once confirmed, proceed by clicking Delete cluster.
