How Do I Clear RDS Backup Space?
The RDS backup space stores automated backups, manual backups, and SQL audit logs.
- Automated full and incremental backups
Automated backups cannot be manually deleted. You need to change the backup retention period by referring to Configuring an Automated Backup Policy. Backups that have expired will be automatically deleted.
- Manual full backups
You can manually delete manual backups. For details, see Deleting a Manual Backup.
- SQL audit logs
You can change the retention period. Audit logs that have expired will be automatically deleted. For details, see Enabling SQL Audit.
You can also disable SQL audit and select check box "I acknowledge that after audit log is disabled, all audit logs are deleted.".
