This guide is for the users who receive excess of 32ETH to their withdrawal wallet address on regular basis.

  • Check the box for Service-creation-stack and hit delete. Wait for the stack to be deleted.

  • Once deleted, check the box for Cluster-creation-stak and hit delete.

  • Once both the stacks are deleted, make sure you have a clean infrastructure.
