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.

  • After a DCS instance is deleted, the instance data will also be deleted without backup. In addition, any backup data of the instance will be deleted. Therefore, download the backup files of the instance for permanent storage before deleting the instance.
  • If the instance is in cluster mode, all cluster nodes will be deleted.

Prerequisites

  • The DCS instances you want to delete are in the Running or Faulty state.
