Update 08/04/2026
This guide explains how to reset a Cloud VPS / VPS Lite.
Introduction
- This procedure erases all content from the volume dedicated to the operating system (
/dev/vda). - In the case of a Cloud VPS, the volume dedicated to data storage (
/dev/vdb) is not affected by the reset.
Please note: depending on the operating system installed, the system volume may be named /dev/sda, /dev/sda1 or /dev/vda… the same applies to the data volume /dev/sdb, /dev/sdb2 or /dev/vdb… Therefore, you should replace these indications with those that correspond to your situation.
