Server → Delete
AI-generatedSummary
Deletes a Hetzner Cloud server by ID by sending a DELETE request to /v1/servers/{id}.
Inputs
- Server (required) — The server to delete. Pick it from a searchable list (the first 50 servers, filtered by name) or enter its numeric ID in By ID mode. The ID is placed in the request URL path.
- Request Options — Optional node settings for the HTTP request. Batching sets items per batch (default 50, -1 disables) and the interval between batches (default 1000 ms). Ignore SSL Issues accepts invalid certificates. Proxy sets an HTTP proxy URL. Timeout is the time in ms (default 10000) to wait for response headers.
Output shape
The result of the DELETE call. This operation has no response unwrapping configured, so the output is the raw Hetzner API response, which is typically an action object describing the delete.
The source doesn't show the response body, so its exact shape is not confirmed here. Deletion is permanent. If the server has delete protection enabled, the API will reject the request and the node errors. Run one item per server to delete multiple servers.
Examples
Example 1: Delete a specific server by ID taken from an earlier node
Resource: Server, Operation: Delete, Server mode: By ID, value set to the expression {{ $json.id }}.
Example 2: Delete a server chosen manually from your project
Resource: Server, Operation: Delete, Server mode: From List, then search for and select the server by name.
Example 3: Tear down many servers without hitting API rate limits
Feed one item per server ID, set Server by ID using an expression, and under Request Options enable Batching with 10 items per batch and a 2000 ms interval.
