Permanently Deleting Disks from the Recycle Bin

Scenarios

You can permanently delete the EVS disks from the recycle bin at any time.

Constraints

  • In the recycle bin, disks can be stored for a maximum of 7 days. After 7 days, the system will permanently delete the disks, and the disks cannot be recovered.
  • If you have disks already in the recycle bin and then your account goes in arrears, the disks will enter a grace period and then a retention period, and may be kept for less than 7 days before they are deleted permanently by the system.

Once disks are deleted from the recycle bin, data on them cannot be recovered.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Under Storage, click Elastic Volume Service.

    The disk list page is displayed.

  3. Click the Recycle Bin tab.
  4. Locate the disk you want to permanently delete and click Delete in the Operation column.

    The confirmation dialog box is displayed.

  5. Click Yes.

    If the disk disappears from the recycle bin, the disk has been permanently deleted.
