Removing the application

After removing the application all information related to it will be lost.

Removing the application involves the following steps:

1. Disable load balancing for the cluster node that you are removing
2. Stop traffic processing requests

   To do so, make sure traffic processing is rerouted around the cluster node that you are removing.

3. Removing a node from a cluster
4. Shutting down the virtual machine
5. Deleting the virtual machine

   You can remove the whole virtual machine including virtual disk files and system snapshot files.

If you deployed the application on a physical server, to remove the application you will have to format the hard drive of the server by using a specialized data deletion tool and then make sure that the application can no longer be loaded.
