+Deleting the Overcloud
+----------------------
+
+When deleting the Overcloud, the Overcloud nodes need to be manually powered
+off, otherwise, the cloud will still be active and accepting any user requests.
+
+After archiving any data that needs to be saved from the deployment, it is
+recommended to reprovision the nodes to a clean base operating system. The
+reprovision will ensure that they do not start serving user requests, or
+interfere with future deployments in the case where they are powered back on in
+the future.

+As with scaling down, do not attempt to reuse nodes from a previous deployment
+as part of a new deployment.
