Deleting a Pay-per-Use DB Instance

Scenarios

You can manually delete a pay-per-use DB instance on the Instances page.

Billing

• You will not be billed for the instances that were not successfully created.
• If you delete a pay-per-use DB instance, its automated backups will also be deleted and you will no longer be billed for them. Manual backups, however, will be retained and generate additional costs.

Constraints

• DB instances cannot be deleted when operations are being performed on them. They can be deleted only after the operations are complete.
• If a backup of a DB instance is being restored, the instance cannot be deleted.
• A stopped instance cannot be deleted through the console.
• If you delete a primary DB instance, its standby DB instance is also deleted automatically. Exercise caution when performing this operation.
• Deleted DB instances cannot be recovered and resources are released. Exercise caution when performing this operation. If you want to retain data, create a manual backup first before deleting the DB instance.
• You can rebuild a DB instance that was deleted up to 7 days ago from the recycle bin.
• You can use a manual backup to restore a DB instance. For details, see Restoring a DB Instance from Backups.
