Recycle Bin Overview

Notes and Constraints

• When you delete a disk, regardless of whether the disk will be moved to the recycle bin or not, snapshots of the disk will always be deleted permanently.
• There are no limits on the capacity and quantity of disks in the recycle bin.
• 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 recover or permanently delete the disks from the ECS side. After the disks expire, they are permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.

Recycle Bin Rules for Deleted EVS Disks

When will EVS disks be moved to the recycle bin?

You first have to configure a recycle bin policy to define when to move deleted disks to the recycle bin. Then, disks will be moved there if:

• You delete pay-per-use disks.
• You delete the cloud service resources that use the disks. The cloud services include ECS, BMS, CCE, and MRS.
• You reinstall the ECS OS, and the system automatically creates a new system disk and deletes the old system disk.

EVS disks will not be moved to the recycle bin if:

• You delete pay-per-use disks when your account is restricted or frozen.
• The system permanently deletes pay-per-use when your account is restricted or frozen.
• The number of days elapses since the disk creation is less than what you specified in the recycle bin policy.
• The pay-per-use disks you deleted are already in a grace or retention period.
• The system permanently deletes the pay-per-use disks whose retention period has expired.
