If a file system is no longer used and needs to be deleted, you are advised to unmount the file system and then delete it.

Before unmounting a file system, stop the process and the read/write operations.

Log in to the management console using a cloud account.
1. Log in to the management console and select a region and a project.
2. Under Computing, click Elastic Cloud Server to switch to the ECS console.
Log in to the ECS.
Run the following command:
umount Local path

Local path: Local path used to mount the file system on the ECS, for example, /local_path.

Before running the umount command, stop all read and write operations related to the file system and exit from the local path. Otherwise, the unmounting will fail.
