Enabling the Recycle Bin

Scenarios

EVS recycle bin is disabled by default. You need to manually enable it before you can use it.

If the recycle bin is enabled, EVS disks will be moved to the recycle bin upon deletion. This can help protect your disk data from accidental deletions.

Notes and Constraints

• To learn when will EVS disks be moved to the recycle bin after the recycle bin is enabled, see Recycle Bin Rules for Deleted EVS Disks.
• When you delete a disk, regardless of whether the disk will be moved to the recycle bin or not, the disk snapshots will always be deleted permanently.
• There are no limits on the capacity and quantity of disks in the recycle bin.
• In the recycle bin, disks can be stored for 7 days. After 7 days, the system will permanently delete the disks, and the disks cannot be recovered.

Procedure

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Click in the upper left corner and choose Storage > Elastic Volume Service.

   The disk list page is displayed.

3. Click the Recycle Bin tab.
4. Click Enable Recycle Bin.

   After the recycle bin is enabled, the Recycle Bin tab page shows the disks that are going to be permanently deleted. You can now use the recycle bin.
