Permanently Deleting Disks from the Recycle Bin

Scenarios

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

Notes and Constraints

• Separately deleted disks are stored in the recycle bin for a maximum of seven days. During this period, you can recover or permanently delete the disks. After the disks expire, they are permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.
• Disks deleted together with an ECS have the same retention duration as the ECS. During this time, you can only permanently delete the disks from the ECS side.

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

Procedure

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Click in the upper left corner and choose Storage > Elastic Volume Service.

   The Elastic Volume Service 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.
