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.

After a RocketMQ instance is deleted, the instance data will be deleted without backup.

Prerequisites

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