Deleting a GaussDB Instance

Scenarios

On the Instances page, you can manually delete DB instances that fail to be created or unnecessary instances after service changes.

Precautions

• Instance deletion cannot be undone. Exercise caution when performing this operation. Back up your data first if you want to keep it after deleting an instance.
• Instances cannot be deleted while an operation is being performed on them. They can only be deleted once the operations are complete.
• Instances in the recycle bin will not incur charges.
• When instances are deleted, manual backups are retained.

Procedure

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region and project.
3. Click in the upper left corner of the page and choose Databases > GaussDB.
4. On the Instances page, locate the instance you want to delete and click More > Delete in the Operation column.
5. In the displayed dialog box, click OK. Refresh the Instances page later to check that the deletion is successful.
