## What Should I Know Before Deleting?

- **This action is permanent** - Once deleted, your server and all its data cannot be recovered
- **No refunds** - Free servers do not have any associated payments, so there's nothing to refund
- **Immediate effect** - The server will be removed immediately after confirmation

## What Should I Do Before Deleting?

Consider the following before deleting your free server:

- **Download your files** - Use the File Manager to download any important files or worlds
- **Export databases** - If you have databases, export them before deletion
- **Note your configurations** - Save any custom startup parameters or settings you may want to reuse

### Can I undo a server deletion?
No. Server deletions are permanent and cannot be reversed. Make sure to back up any important data before proceeding.

### Will I lose my free server slot?
No. After deleting a free server, you can create a new free server at any time (subject to availability).

### What happens to my server's IP address and port?
The allocation (IP and port) will be released and may be assigned to other users.
