Currently Metal's portal does not have an option to preserve the data for reserved servers when an instance is deleted. Considering the default deprovision processes take a very long time for servers with large disk spaces, such as s3.xlarge plan, It'd be a good customer experience if we add an option in UI to enable a customer to preserve data when deleting an instance.
