Table 1 Troubleshooting

Possible Cause

Solution

The backup is being created or is being used for restoration.

Wait until the backup is created or the restoration completes and then delete it.

The backup is a cloud server backup and has been used to create an image, so the Delete button for the backup is grayed out.

Delete the image before deleting the backup.

A system exception occurs.

Delete the backup again. If the problem persists, contact technical support.

Insufficient permissions.

Check whether the account has the deletion permission on the IAM console.
