Deleting a RocketMQ Instance

For pay-per-use RocketMQ instances, you can delete one or more of them in batches on the console. For a yearly/monthly RocketMQ instance, if you no longer need it, choose More > Unsubscribe in the Operation column. RocketMQ instances will be automatically deleted upon unsubscription.

Prerequisite

The RocketMQ instance is pay-per-use and is in the Running, Faulty, or Frozen state.

    • In the row containing the RocketMQ instance to be deleted, choose More > Delete.
    • Click a RocketMQ instance name to go to the instance overview page. In the upper right corner, choose > Delete.
    • To delete multiple instances at a time, select the instances, and click Delete above the instance list.

  3. In the Delete Instance dialog box, click Auto Enter so that the system automatically enters DELETE in the text box.
