Deleting a Disk

Scenario

If users' service volume changes, data disks are redundant, or they want a temporary large-capacity storage space which can be uninstalled and unsubscribe from after using it, you can delete a disk by referring to this section. After a data disk is deleted, the data on the disk is permanently deleted and cannot be restored. You are advised to delete a data disk only when the mapping between disk partitions and data disks can be determined. For example, you can delete data disks when there is only one data disk or data disks can be distinguished by disk capacity.
