Hello @Esteban2026, 

The Spark version is related to the VC created. 
You should be able to select the version when creating a new VC. 

On the trial, don't you have those options?

Hi @vafs , when I selected the Data Engineering use case for the trial and VC was already created.  It doesn't seem like I have an option to delete the VC or create a new VC.  For example, under the environments in the management console, the delete option button disappears when you try to hover your mouse over it.

Thanks,

Esteban

Hi @haridjh I tried to delete the VC using `cdp de delete-vc --vc-id...  --cluster-id...` and got an error result of auth failed:
