+To enable/disable delete protection for a volume using the UI, follow these steps:
+
+#. Log in to the CloudStack UI as a User or admin.
+
+#. In the navigation menu on the left, click Volumes under Storage.
+
+#. Choose the volume for which you want to enable/disable delete protection.

+#. Click on the Edit button |EditButton.png|
+
+#. Toggle the Delete Protection switch to enable or disable delete protection.

+   domain/project is deleted, the volumes under the domain/project will be
+   deleted irrespective of the delete protection status.
