Deleting a Cluster

Scenario

You can delete a CDM cluster that you no longer use.

After a CDM cluster is deleted, the cluster and its data are destroyed and cannot be restored. Exercise caution when performing this operation.

Before deleting a cluster, note the following:

• Ensure that the cluster is not in use.
• Ensure that the links and jobs in the cluster have been backed up through the job export function described in Managing Jobs in Batches.
• You are not advised to delete the CDM cluster which is free of charge. If you delete it, you can only purchase clusters.
• After a CDM cluster is deleted, it will not be billed in pay-per-use mode and the package duration will not be deducted. If you have purchased a CDM discount package or a yearly/monthly CDM incremental package for the CDM cluster to delete, unsubscribe from the package by following the instructions in Unsubscriptions.
