[PetiteCloud] should the disk (if not physical) be kept after deleting a instance?

[Michael Thoreson]

What if disks and resources were handled in a similar fashion to vbox? 
Upon deletion of an instance, ram and cpu will be obviously freed up but 
it will ask you if you want to delete all files as well which would 
include disk hard disk images but leave removable media such as floppy 
and cd\dvd images.

If the user doesn't delete the disk image with the instance then vbox 
still lists the hard disk but clearly states it is not attached to a vm.
