ws_release - Release (Delete) Workspace

Release a workspace when you no longer need it.

Syntax

ws_release [options] workspace_name

What Happens When You Release

  • The workspace ID can be reused immediately
  • The directory becomes inaccessible to the user
  • The data is not deleted immediately - it is moved to a deleted area
  • Released workspaces: Can be recovered using ws_restore until the next cleanup cycle (typically runs during nighttime)
  • Important: Released workspace data may still count toward your quota until final deletion occurs

Options

Option Description
-n <name> Workspace name (alternative to positional argument)
-F <filesystem> Specify filesystem where the workspace is located
--delete-data Delete all data immediately (may not be available on all clusters).

WARNING: Workspace can NOT BE RECOVERED
