Andreas Jaeger 28d95bfc66 End User Guide: Remove user_only and orphan
With the split of the User Guides, there's no need anymore to have
orphan and user_only flags, remove them from the user-guide
directory.

Only files that keep :orphan: are
doc/user-guide/source/hot-guide/hot_advanced_topics.rst and
hot_existing_templates.rst since these files are not currently included.

==================
Delete an instance
==================
When you no longer need an instance, you can delete it.
#. List all instances::
$ nova list
+-------------+----------------------+--------+------------+-------------+------------------+
| ID | Name | Status | Task State | Power State | Networks |
+-------------+----------------------+--------+------------+-------------+------------------+
| 84c6e57d... | myCirrosServer | ACTIVE | None | Running | private=10.0.0.3 |
| 8a99547e... | myInstanceFromVolume | ACTIVE | None | Running | private=10.0.0.4 |
| d7efd3e4... | newServer | ERROR | None | NOSTATE | |
+-------------+----------------------+--------+------------+-------------+------------------+
#. Run the :command:`nova delete` command to delete the instance. The following
example shows deletion of the ``newServer`` instance, which is in
``ERROR`` state::
$ nova delete newServer
The command does not notify that your server was deleted.
#. To verify that the server was deleted, run the :command:`nova list`
command::
$ nova list
+-------------+----------------------+--------+------------+-------------+------------------+
| ID | Name | Status | Task State | Power State | Networks |
+-------------+----------------------+--------+------------+-------------+------------------+
| 84c6e57d... | myCirrosServer | ACTIVE | None | Running | private=10.0.0.3 |
| 8a99547e... | myInstanceFromVolume | ACTIVE | None | Running | private=10.0.0.4 |
+-------------+----------------------+--------+------------+-------------+------------------+
The deleted instance does not appear in the list.
