Deleting Instances

This section describes how to delete an instance no longer used to release resources. After you delete an instance, all nodes in the instance are also deleted.

Precautions

  • After you delete the instance, all its data and all automated backups are automatically deleted as well and cannot be restored. Exercise caution when performing this operation.
  • By default, all manual backups are retained in DDS. You can use a backup to restore a deleted instance.
  • If you have enabled operation protection, two-factor authentication is required for sensitive operations to secure your account and cloud products. For details about how to enable operation protection, see in Identity and Access Management User Guide.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region and a project.
  3. Click Service List. Under Database, click Document Database Service to go to the DDS console.
  4. On the Instances page, locate the instance and choose More > Delete in the Operation column.
  5. In the displayed dialog box, click Yes.
