Recycling a GeminiDB Redis Instance
Unsubscribed yearly/monthly instances and deleted pay-per-use instances are moved to the recycle bin and can be restored.
Usage Notes
- The recycling bin is enabled by default and cannot be disabled. Instances in the recycle bin are retained for 7 days by default, and this will not incur any charges.
- Currently, you can put a maximum of 100 instances into the recycle bin.
- If you delete an instance of full storage, the deleted instance will not be moved to the recycle bin.
- After an instance is deleted, the most recent automated full backup (if no automated full backup is available one day ago, the latest one is retained) is retained and a full backup is performed. You can select any backup file to restore the instance data.
Modifying the Recycling Policy

You can modify the retention period, and the new retention period only takes effect for the instances that are deleted after the modification.
- Log in to the Huawei Cloud console.
- In the service list, choose Databases > GeminiDB.
- On the Recycling Bin page, click Modify Recycling Policy. In the displayed dialog box, set the retention period from 1 day to 7 days. Then, click OK.
