# Delete a CKS cluster

> Learn how to delete a CKS cluster using the Cloud Console, including state requirements and precautions

This guide explains how to delete a CoreWeave Kubernetes Service (CKS) cluster using the Cloud Console. Delete a cluster when you no longer need its compute resources, so you can stop incurring costs and free up project quota.

## Prerequisites

This guide assumes you have an active CoreWeave account.

## Delete a cluster with the Cloud Console

The cluster dashboard displays the cluster status. A cluster must be in a `Healthy` state before you can delete it. To delete a cluster, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the [Clusters](https://console.coreweave.com/clusters) page.
2. Confirm the cluster is in a `Healthy` state.
3. Click the ellipsis on the far right of the screen next to the cluster.
4. To confirm deletion, enter the name of the cluster.

<Warning>
  You can only delete a cluster that is in a `Healthy` state. Attempts to delete `Unhealthy` or `Provisioning` clusters fail.
