Zombie Instances that won't go away

I deleted volumes and scaled down to 0 and then up to 1, but these old instances just won’t go away. Any ideas?

Check again and see if they cleared up? fly vm status <id> will occasionally show you what has them hung up. If VMs get into a restart loop, it may take a while for them to vanish from the pending list.

pending means they’re not actually running, they just haven’t been cleaned up by the scheduler yet.

Thanks. One of them did go away, but the two in maa are still hanging around. fly vm status <id> didn’t reveal much useful info I’m afraid.

They’re gone now :man_shrugging: No idea what I did, but they’re now gone :sweat_smile:
