<a name="set-up-pools-finish"></a>

**Important**  
The WorkSpaces Pools feature is not available in the Beijing and Ningxia Regions.

You can delete pools to free up resources and to avoid unintended charges to your account. We recommend stopping any unused, running pools.

**To delete a pool**

1. In the navigation pane, choose **WorkSpaces**, **Pools**.

1. Select the pool that you want to stop, and then choose **Stop**. It takes about 5 minutes to stop a pool.

1. When the status of the pool is **Stopped**, choose **Delete**.
