How Do I Clear GaussDB Backup Space?

  • Automated full and incremental backups

    Automated backups cannot be manually deleted. You need to change the backup retention period by referring to Configuring an Automated Backup Policy. Backups that have expired will be automatically deleted.

  • Manual full backups

    You can manually delete manual backups. For details, see Deleting a Manual Backup.

    After the manual backups are deleted, you can go to the Instances page and click the name of the target instance to go to the Basic Information page. In the Storage & Backup area, you can check the backup space usage.
