+Uninstalling Elastic components, such as {{es}} clusters, deployments, or orchestrators, may be necessary for several reasons. You might need to decommission a host, scale down a self-managed cluster, recover from an installation issue that can't be resolved, or start fresh with a clean setup.

+To delete an {{ece}} deployment:

+2. On the **Deployments** page, select your deployment.
+
+    Narrow the list by name, ID, or choose from several other filters. To further define the list, use a combination of filters.

+3. Terminate the deployment.
+4. Select **Delete deployment** and follow the steps to delete the deployment permanently.
+
+:::{warning}
+Deleting a deployment cannot be undone.
+:::
+
+### Terminate a deployment
+
+Terminating a deployment stops all running instances and **deletes all data**. Only configuration information is saved so that you can restore the deployment in the future. If there is [a snapshot repository associated](/deploy-manage/tools/snapshot-and-restore/cloud-enterprise.md) with the Elasticsearch cluster and at least one snapshot has been taken, you can restore the cluster with the same indices later.
+
+To terminate an {{ece}} deployment,
+
+1. [Log into the Cloud UI](/deploy-manage/deploy/cloud-enterprise/log-into-cloud-ui.md).
+2. On the **Deployments** page, select your deployment.
+
+    Narrow the list by name, ID, or choose from several other filters. To further define the list, use a combination of filters.
+
+3. In the **Deployment Management** section, select **Terminate deployment**.
+
+
+### Restore a deployment
+
+You can restore a deployment that was previously terminated to its original configuration. Note that the data that was in the deployment is not restored, since it is deleted as part of the termination process. If you have a snapshot, you can [restore it](/deploy-manage/tools/snapshot-and-restore/restore-snapshot.md) to recover the {{es}} indices.
+
+To restore a terminated deployment,

+3. In the **Deployment Management** section, select **Restore** and then acknowledge the confirmation message.
