Reinstall the OS of your VPS Cloud / VPS Lite
This guide explains how to reset a Cloud VPS / Lite VPS.
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.
Attention: depending on the installed operating system, the system volume may be named /dev/sda
, /dev/sda1
, or /dev/vda
; the same goes for the data volume /dev/sdb
, /dev/sdb2
, or /dev/vdb
! Therefore, it is necessary to replace these indications with those corresponding to your situation.
