What is shape? Reading the doc doesn't make it clear why it is a paid thing. I just signed up for oracle cloud for free account and how to check if I accidentally bought anything?

Shape just means instance sizing.

I was presented two options:

1: 1vCPU 2GiB ram

2: 2vCPU 8GiB ram

(Or something, my memory is awful and it was a long time ago now. I remember a friend of mine who works at oracle was walking me through.)

Oh. So can't you delete the VM after being charged once?
