Deleting a DB Instance

Scenarios

You can manually delete a DB instance on the Instances page.

• If you delete a DB instance, the read replicas associated with it are also deleted.
• Deleted DB instances cannot be recovered. Exercise caution when performing this operation.

Constraints

• DB instances cannot be deleted when operations are being performed on them. They can be deleted only after the operations are completed.
• If you delete a DB instance, its automated backups are also deleted and you are no longer charged for them. Manual backups are still retained and will incur additional costs.

Procedure

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 Databases, click GaussDB(for MySQL).
4. On the Instances page, locate the DB instance to be deleted and click More > Delete in the Operation column.
5. In the displayed dialog box, click Yes. Refresh the Instances page later to check that the deletion is successful.
