Wido den Hollander commented on CLOUDSTACK-4505:
------------------------------------------------
This is already closed, but I also see a Use Case if Users could do this. We
could make this a setting so that per Domain/Account we can grant users the
ability to Expunge their Instance?
> expungeDestroyedVirtualMachine API call

> We want to provide users a long recovery time before expunging their VMs
> automatically. Recovery is a great feature. But the problem is that users
> cannot deploy a new VM with the same hostname or IP address as a Destroyed VM
> which has not yet been expunged.
> So it would be great to have an API call that lets users say "No I really
> don't want to recover that VM, please delete it so I can deploy a new one."
> expungeDestroyedVirtualMachine would be called with a single vmid to specify
> which Destroyed VM should be cleared, and of course it would only work on a
> VM which is in Destroyed state already.
