Charmed PostgreSQL VM Tutorial > 7. Clean up environment
Clean up your environment
In this tutorial we’ve successfully deployed PostgreSQL on LXD, added and removed cluster members, added and removed database users, and enabled a layer of security with TLS.
You may now keep your Charmed PostgreSQL VM deployment running and write to the database or remove it entirely using the steps in this page.
Stop your virtual machine
If you’d like to keep your environment for later, simply stop your VM with
multipass stop my-vm
Delete your virtual machine
If you’re done with testing and would like to free up resources on your machine, you can remove the VM entirely.
Warning: When you remove VM as shown below, you will lose all the data in PostgreSQL and any other applications inside Multipass VM!
For more information, see the docs for multipass delete.
Delete your VM and its data by running
multipass delete --purge my-vm
