Deleting a General-Purpose File System

Data in a deleted general-purpose file system cannot be recovered. Ensure that files in the general-purpose file system have been properly stored or backed up before deleting it.

Prerequisites

You are advised to unmount the general-purpose file system before deleting it. For how to unmount general-purpose file systems, see Unmounting a General-Purpose File System.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the SFS console.
  2. In the general-purpose file system list, find the file system you want to delete and click Delete in the Operation column.
  3. In the dialog box shown in Figure 1, confirm the information, enter DELETE in the text box, and click OK.

    A general-purpose file system can only be deleted when its used capacity and the number of files are both zero.

  4. Check whether the general-purpose file system is successfully deleted.

    If the file system disappears from the list, the deletion is successful. If it is still visible, the deletion failed. In this case, submit a service ticket.
