Clean up your volume

We’ll start by detaching the EBS volume from the EC2 instance.

First, stop the web server with the following command:

sudo systemctl stop httpd

Then, unmount the volume from your EC2 instance:

sudo umount -d /dev/xvdf

Then, detach the volume from the instance as explained in “Step 2: Detach the volume from the instance” of these these instructions.

Once the volume is detached from the EC2 Instance, follow these instructions to delete the volume.
