how do i destroy a droplet that is locked

Posted January 28, 2015

I have a temporary droplet that somehow got compromised. I don’t want to fix it, I want to destroy it, but cannot access the droplet destroy button because it is locked. I have rebooted it from the console but that has not affected its locked status. How can I just easily destroy the droplet.

Thanks

did you try turning it off, not just restarting, it need to be off to be destroyed.

Try contacting support. Hitting the destroy button is the correct way to destroy a droplet.
