# Shut down the deployment

To shut down the deployment and remove all VMs and data, run the `stop.sh` command. When you shut down the deployment, all the VMs along with the data is deleted.

```
[pi-api-deployment]# ./bin/stop.sh
Please see /opt/pingidentity/pi-api-deployment/logs/ansible.log for more details.
```

To verify whether the deployment was successfully stopped, check the `ansible.log` file:

```
[pi-api-deployment]# tail -f logs/ansible.log
