+From the dashboard, select the AZ where your original EC2 Instance was created (US East (Ohio) in my case.)
+\\
+\\
+{{ :aws_move_instance_021.jpg?900 |}}
+\\
+You can't see instances in different AZs on one page unfortunately, so if you have co-located EC2 Instances, you have to navigate between AZs.
+\\
+\\
+So here we are, back at the original AZ where our original EC2 Instance is.

+We have to stop this instance for two reasons. It is using a server, so this is incurring a cost, yes we could just stop it and leave it BUT, it is also consuming hard disk space. Even worse is that we are using a lot of space now because of the copy process, consider this:
+\\
+\\
+Original EC2 Instance is using..<color #ed1c24>8GB</color>\\
+The AMI we created is using.....<color #ed1c24>8GB</color>\\
+The AMI copy is using...........<color #ed1c24>8GB</color>\\
+The new EC2 Instance is using...<color #ed1c24>8GB</color>\\
+\\
+Total...........................<color #ed1c24>32GB</color>
+\\
+\\
+Our free allowance is 30GB, so we need to do some cleaning up.
+\\
+\\
+We need to do the following:
+\\
+\\
+Stop the old EC2 Instance.\\
+Delete the old EC2 Instance.\\
+Delete the AMI Image.\\
+Delete the AMI Copy Image.\\
