Deleting a Read Replica

Scenarios

You can delete read replicas billed on a pay-per-use or serverless basis on the Basic Information page.

Constraints

  • Deleted read replicas cannot be recovered. Exercise caution when performing this operation.
  • You can only delete a read replica when the instance has two or more read replicas. At least one read replica must be retained in the instance.
  • If another operation is being performed on the instance, its read replicas cannot be manually deleted.
  • For multi-AZ deployment, make sure that the primary node and remaining read replicas are located in different AZs after a read replica is deleted.

    If a primary node and a read replica are deployed in AZ1 and the other read replica is deployed in AZ2, the read replica in AZ2 cannot be deleted.

  • Before deleting the last serverless read replica, ensure that the function for adjusting the number of serverless read replicas has been disabled.

Billing

Deleted pay-per-use or serverless read replicas are no longer billed.
