Deleting a DB Instance

Scenarios

  • You need to delete the DB instance that fails to be created.

Important

  • Deleted DB instances cannot be recovered. Exercise caution when performing this operation. To retain data, back up the data before deleting the DB instance.

  • DB instances cannot be deleted when operations are being performed on them.

  • 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.
