Deleting an Instance

On the DCS console, you can delete one or multiple DCS instances at a time. You can also delete all instance creation tasks that have failed to run.

  • After a DCS instance is deleted, the instance data will be deleted without backup. In addition, any backup data of the instance will be deleted. Therefore, download the backup files of the instance for permanent storage before deleting the instance.
  • If the instance is in cluster mode, all cluster nodes will be deleted.
  • Instances billed on a yearly/monthly basis cannot be deleted.

Prerequisites

  • The DCS instances you want to delete have been created.
  • The DCS instances you want to delete are in the Running, Faulty, or Stopped state.
