Recycling an Instance

Usage Notes

• The recycling bin is enabled by default and cannot be disabled. Instances in the recycle bin are retained for 7 days by default, and this will not incur any charges.
• Currently, you can put a maximum of 100 instances into the recycle bin.
• If you delete an instance of full storage, the deleted instance will not be moved to the recycle bin.
• You can modify the retention period, and the changes only apply to the DB instances deleted after the changes, so exercise caution when performing this operation.
• After an instance is deleted, the most recent automated full backup (if no automated full backup is available one day ago, the latest one is retained) is retained and a full backup is performed. You can select any backup file to restore the instance data.

Modifying the Recycling Policy
