Managing existing IDEs
----------------------

To manage your existing IDEs, use the following commands:

*   `acli ide:list`: Displays a list of existing IDEs
*   `acli ide:open`: Opens an existing IDE in your web browser
*   `acli ide:delete`: Deletes an existing IDE

Important

If you delete an IDE, the system deletes all information, files, and databases from that environment. You cannot recover the deleted data.

Understanding IDE hibernation
-----------------------------

Cloud IDE hibernates after two hours of inactivity. When you access the IDE again, Cloud IDE comes out of hibernation and becomes usable again after approximately 30 seconds.
