Recycling a DB Instance

Modifying Recycling Policy

The new recycling policy takes effect only for DB instances that are put into the recycle bin after the modification. For DB instances that already exist in the recycle bin before the modification, the original recycling policy takes effect.

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 Relational Database Service. The RDS console is displayed.
4. On the Recycling Management page, click Modify Recycling Policy. In the displayed dialog box, click to enable the recycling policy. Set the retention period for the deleted DB instances from 1 day to 7 days. Then, click OK.
