How to Schedule or Cancel the Deletion of a Standalone Machine

Why should you care about the deletion schedule?

If you're using a Standalone machine to continue a previous lab from a course, or you're a Trainer preparing a course, there's no reason to worry.

To make better use of system resources, though, standalone machines that sit idle for over a month will be automatically scheduled for deletion, and you'll get a heads-up 7 days before.

You also have the option to cancel that deletion schedule.
