Open the cloud manager in your browser and log in ( https://cloud.linode.com ).
Click on "Linodes" in the menu bar at the left of your screen. A list of your Linodes will appear on the right.
Click on the name of the Linode you want to delete.
Click on the … menu at the far right of the screen next to "Launch Lish Console". A menu will pop up.
The last choice in the pop up menu is "Delete"…choose it.
You'll get a couple of warnings about data loss, irreversibility, etc…just answer "OK" to each if you really intend to delete your Linode.
Once complete, deletion will take a few minutes but will proceed smoothly. If there are any problems, you'll have to contact Support.
You will still get a bill at the end of the month of August for charges accrued from midnight to now.
