+This article shows you how to delete a virtual machine (VM) from a lab or delete a lab in Azure DevTest Labs.
+
+## Delete a lab VM
+
+When you create a lab VM, DevTest Labs automatically creates resources for the VM, like a disk, network interface, and public IP address, in a separate resource group. Deleting the VM deletes most of the resources created at VM creation, including the VM, network interface, and disk. However, deleting the VM doesn't delete:
+
+- Any resources you manually created in the VM's resource group.
+- The VM's key vault in the lab's resource group.
+- The availability set, load balancer, or public IP address in the VM's resource group. These resources are shared by multiple VMs in a resource group.
+
+To delete a VM from a lab:
 
-- All the resources that were automatically created at the time of lab creation are automatically deleted. The resource group itself is not deleted. If you had manually created any resources this resource group, the service doesn't delete them. 
-- All VMs in the lab and resource groups associated with these VMs are automatically deleted. When you create a VM in a lab, the service creates resources (disk, network interface, public IP address, etc.) for the VM in a separate resource group. However, if you manually create any additional resources in these resource groups, the DevTest Labs service does not delete those resources and the resource group.
