How Do I Clear RDS for MariaDB Backup Space?

The RDS for MariaDB 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 configuring a backup policy. Backups that have expired will be automatically deleted.

  • 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.".
