Deleting a Pay-per-Use Instance

Scenarios

You can choose to delete a pay-per-use instance on the Instances page based on service requirements. To delete a yearly/monthly instance, unsubscribe from it. For details, see Unsubscribing from a Yearly/Monthly DB Instance.

Precautions

• Instances that an operation is being performed on cannot be deleted. They can be deleted only after the operations are complete.
• If a pay-per-use instance is deleted, its automated backups will also be deleted and you will no longer be billed for them. Manual backups, however, will be retained and generate additional costs.
• After an instance is deleted, all its data and all automated backups are automatically deleted as well and cannot be recovered. Back up it before you delete an instance. For details, see Creating a Manual Backup.
• After you delete an instance, all of its nodes are deleted.

Procedure

1. Log in to the management console.
2. In the service list, choose Databases > GeminiDB Mongo API.
3. On the Instance Management page, locate the target instance and in the Operation column choose Delete or More > Delete.
4. If you have enabled operation protection, click Start Verification in the Delete DB Instance dialog box. On the displayed page, click Send Code, enter the verification code, and click Verify. The page is closed automatically.
   

   If you enable operation protection, two-factor authentication is required for sensitive operations to secure your account and cloud products. For details about how to enable operation protection, see Identity and Access Management User Guide.

5. In the displayed dialog box, click Yes.

   Deleted DB instances are not displayed in the instance list.
