# Delete a Volume

Use `novita.volume.destroy()` to permanently delete a volume by its ID. Deleting a volume is irreversible — its data cannot be recovered.

<Warning>
  **Warning:** Destroying a volume permanently deletes it and all data it holds. This cannot be undone.
</Warning>

## Delete a volume

`novita.volume.destroy()` returns a boolean: `true` if the volume was deleted, and `false` if no volume with that ID was found.

<CodeGroup>
  ```js JavaScript & TypeScript icon="js" theme={"system"}
  import { Novita } from 'novita-sandbox'

  const novita = new Novita()

  const deleted = await novita.volume.destroy('vol_123')
  if (deleted) {
    console.log('Volume deleted')
  } else {
    console.log('Volume not found')
  }
  ```

  ```python Python icon="python" theme={"system"}
  from novita_sandbox import Novita

  novita = Novita()

  deleted = novita.volume.destroy("vol_123")
  if deleted:
      print("Volume deleted")
  else:
      print("Volume not found")
  ```

  ```bash CLI icon="terminal" theme={"system"}
  novita volume delete <volume_id>
