Host command

Remove all expired storage instances from the machine, freeing up space

This is a host command, used for managing machines you are renting out on Vast.ai.

vastai cleanup machine ID [options]

id of machine to cleanup

Description

Instances expire on their end date. Expired instances still pay storage fees, but can not start. Since hosts are still paid storage fees for expired instances, we do not auto delete them. Instead you can use this CLI/API function to delete all expired storage instances for a machine. This is useful if you are running low on storage, want to do maintenance, or are subsidizing storage, etc.
