 Do **not** terminate the node process, delete the storage volume, or remove the VM before a `decommissioning` node has [changed its membership status](#status-change) to `decommissioned`. Prematurely terminating the process will prevent the node from rebalancing all of its range replicas onto other nodes gracefully, cause transient query errors in client applications, and leave the remaining ranges under-replicated and vulnerable to loss of [quorum](architecture/replication-layer.html#overview) if another node goes down.
