Clearing Resources

To avoid unnecessary charges, you are advised to release the following resources once your builds are finished.

• In CodeArts Repo: Delete code repositories.
• In the release repo: Delete software packages and clear the recycle bin by referring to CodeArts Artifact User Guide > "Release Repo (New Version)" > "Managing the Recycle Bin".

Released resources cannot be recovered. Exercise caution when performing these operations.
