Enabling Recycle Bin

Scenarios

When using recycle bin, if you delete pay-per-use ECSs or unexpired yearly/monthly ECSs, they are retained in the recycle bin for a time period that you specify before being permanently deleted. This can help protect your ECSs from accidental deletions.

Recycle bin is disabled by default. This section describes how to enable recycle bin.

Recycle bin is in the OBT. If you want to use it, submit a service ticket to apply for the OBT.

The ECS recycle bin is enabled by IAM project. If multi-project management is used, you need to enable recycle bin for each project.

Prerequisites

To enable ECS recycle bin, you need to enable EVS recycle bin first. For details, see Enabling the Recycle Bin.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region and project.
  3. Click . Under Compute, click Elastic Cloud Server.
  4. Click the Recycle Bin tab.
  5. Click Enable Recycle Bin.

    Deleted or unsubscribed ECSs are displayed on the Recycle Bin tab.
