===AWS Lightsail charging for deleted servers===

Lightsail offers a clear ~~remove~~ button~~, and upon~~ pressing it ~~ask~~ multiple times if ~~you wish~~ to delete ~~your~~ server - noting ~~you will lose your~~ server and its contents. ~~The~~ server ~~then~~ disappears from Lightsail page, ~~but~~ the client ~~is still~~ charged for ~~the server~~.

Lightsail offers a clear "Remove" button. Upon pressing it, the system asks multiple times if the user wishes to delete the server, noting that the server and its contents will be lost. Although the server disappears from the Lightsail page, the client continues to be charged for it.

This is explained by AWS Customer Service revealing that deleting servers does not automatically delete screenshots and backups within that server.

~~Per~~ AWS, if a backup, snapshot, or resource (~~like~~ an IP address) associated with a server still exists - it is billable even ~~though~~ the server or service is ~~gone~~.

In AWS, if a backup, snapshot, or resource (such as an IP address) associated with a server still exists, it remains billable even after the server or service has been terminated.

For more information on these resources and how to delete them, [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lightsail/latest/userguide/delete-an-amazon-lightsail-instance.html this guide] is available.
