Deleting DCS Instances

On the DCS console, you can delete one or multiple DCS instances at a time. You can also delete all instance creation tasks that have failed to run.

DCS instances already exist. They are in the Running, Stopped, or Faulty state.
Deleted DCS instances as well as the data in these instances and the backup files cannot be recovered. Exercise caution when performing this operation. To retain data backups, before deleting instances, download and save their backups locally.
Only DCS Redis 4.0 and later instances can be removed to Recycle Bin.
If the instance is in cluster mode, all cluster nodes will be deleted.

Log in to the DCS console.
Click in the upper left corner and select a region and a project.
In the navigation pane, choose Cache Manager.
Select one or more DCS instances to be deleted and choose Delete above.

To delete a single instance, choose More > Delete in the Operation column in the row containing the instance.
Enable Move to Recycle Bin. The deleted instances will be moved to Recycle Bin, and can be restored or destroyed later.
- Instances in Recycle Bin can be restored or destroyed within 7 days. They will be automatically destroyed after 7 days. For details, see Restoring or Destroying DCS Instances in Recycle Bin.
- If an instance (except for a single-node one) is in the Running state before it is deleted with Move to Recycle Bin enabled, its data will be automatically backed up during instance deletion.
- If an instance is in the Faulty or Stopped state before it is deleted with Move to Recycle Bin enabled, its data will not be automatically backed up during instance deletion, but its latest backup will be saved. If there is no such a backup, data restoration becomes unavailable. You are advised to back up instances periodically.
Enter DELETE as prompted and click Yes to delete the instance.

It takes 1 to 30 minutes to delete DCS instances.

To delete a single instance, choose Operation > More > Delete in the same row as the instance.
