Once you're done with your instance, delete it using the command, axiom-rm
axiom-rm jerry
axiom-rm jerry -f # avoid confirmation prompts
axiom-rm jerry01 jerry02 -f # explicitly list the names of the instances to delete
axiom-rm 'jerry\*' -f # delete all instances starting with jerry
axiom-rm '\*erry\*' -f # delete based on substring matches
The -f/--force flag will not prompt on deletion, I generally use this, but if you want to be ultra sure omit the -f flag.
The -m/--multi flag deletes many instances at once. Its a faster way to delete instances and uses less API calls (with most providers)

Description:
Delete one or more cloud hosted compute devices
Supports globbing (wildcarding) to match instances based on patterns in their names, such as prefix, suffix, or substring matches.
Examples:
axiom-rm testy01 # Delete instance named 'testy01'
axiom-rm 'testy*' # Delete all instances starting with 'testy' (you may need to escape the asterisk)
axiom-rm '*tess*' # Delete all instances containing the string 'tess' (you may need to escape the asterisks)
axiom-rm '\*' --force --multi # Delete all instances on the account, avoid confirmation prompts, delete many instances with one API call
Usage:
<name> string (required)
Name of the instance(s) to delete
-f/--force (optional)
Avoid confirmation prompts
-m/--multi (optional)
Delete multiple instances at once
--debug (optional)
Run with set -xv, warning: very verbose
