Deleting a File System

Data in a deleted file system cannot be restored. Ensure that files in a file system have been properly stored or backed up before you delete the file system.

Prerequisites

You have unmounted the file system to be deleted. For details about how to unmount a file system, see Unmount a File System.

Procedure

Log in to the SFS console.
In the file system list, locate the file system you want to delete and choose More > Delete or Unsubscribe in the Operation column.

If you want to delete more than one file system at a time, select the file systems, and then click Delete in the upper left part of the file system list. Only SFS Capacity-Oriented file systems support batch deletion.
In the displayed dialog box, confirm the information, enter DELETE in the text box, and then click OK.
After clicking Unsubscribe for a yearly/monthly SFS Turbo file system, complete the unsubscription as prompted.
- Only Available and Unavailable file systems can be deleted.
- A general purpose file system can only be deleted when the file system's used capacity and the number of files in the file system are both zero.
- Yearly/monthly SFS Turbo file systems in a grace period or retention period can be unsubscribed from.
