# Viewing and deleting VCF as a Service Cloud Director sites
{: #tenant-viewing-sites}

{{site.data.content.vms-deprecated-note}}

View the summary and detailed information of the IBM Cloud for VMware Cloud Foundation as a Service Cloud Director sites that are provisioned in your account.

When you no longer need them, you can delete the Cloud Director sites that are provisioned in your account.

You cannot delete a single-tenant Cloud Director site instance if it still has virtual data centers (VDCs) in it. Before you delete your Cloud Director site, ensure that all VDC instances in the site are deleted.

For multitenant instances, you can delete only VDCs. The Cloud Director site is automatically deleted when the last VDC in the region is deleted.

Click the **Switch view mode** icon next to **Create** to open the original resource list summary view.

## Procedure to view a summary of Cloud Director sites
{: #tenant-viewing-sites-summary}

1. In the VMware Solutions console, click **Resources > VCF as a Service** from the left navigation panel.
2. On the **VMware Cloud Foundation as a Service** page, view the summary of Cloud Director sites and the VDCs that are provisioned for each site. Each site summary includes the following information.

   * The name and status of the provisioned site.
   * The consumption model for the site, Single-tenant or Multitenant, and the region where the site is deployed.
   * The services that are installed and available for the VDCs to use.
   * Available actions for the site.
   
   Click **VMware console** to create and manage networking and workloads. For more information, see [VMware Cloud Director single sign-on with IBM Cloud IAM](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/vmwaresolutions?topic=vmwaresolutions-iam-integration&interface=ui&format=markdown).
   
   Click the **Delete** icon to delete the Cloud Director site. You cannot delete an IBM managed multitenant site.

3. View the summary of VDCs that are provisioned for the site.
