From the DigitalOcean Control Panel, no, however, you can use the API to help you automate certain tasks.

What you’d do is create a script that connects to the API and sends a request to destroy the Droplet. How you’d go about it depends on your preferred programming language.

API Documentation: https://developers.digitalocean.com/documentation/v2/

To be more specific, this is the section you’d want to check out:
