I can't delete my Private Network due to a reserved IPAM IP

You may be attempting to delete a Private Network VPC via the Scaleway console, API, or other developer tool, and see one of the following error messages:

  • resource_still_in_use
  • Detach resources from this Private to delete it
  • Private Network must be empty to be deleted
  • precondition failed: resource_still_in_use

Cause

If your Private Network has no attached resources (Instances, Elastic Metal servers etc), this error is probably due to a private IP address being reserved for the Private Network in IPAM.

Solution

You must release the reserved private IPs from IPAM in order to delete the Private Network.

In the IPAM section of the Scaleway console, use the filters to select the region and VPC of your Private Network. If there are any private IPs reserved for the Private Network, release them.

A screenshot of the Scaleway console highlights the three dot menu next to a reserved private IP address in IPAM, with the 'Release IP' action
Tip

If you cannot see any reserved IPs in IPAM, check again that you have correctly used the filters to display reserved IPs for a given region / VPC / Private Network. In the console, IPAM shows only reserved IPs for the selected filters. There is no overview of all reserved IPs across all your Private Networks.
