32+
3. Click the **Settings** tab and scroll to de **Delete Elastic Metal server** section.
33+
4. Click **Delete Elastic Metal server**. A pop-up displays. Type **DELETE** to confirm and click **Delete Elastic Metal server** to proceed.

Flexible IPs attached to your server will be detached during server deletion and released back into your [Flexible IP pool](https://console.scaleway.com/elastic-metal/flexible-ips/).
39+
You can then attach them to another Elastic Metal server. If you no longer need them, remember to delete them separately.
