Delete a Cluster

  • Capella Operational
      +
      Deleting a cluster securely deletes all data.
      You can turn on deletion protection for sensitive clusters to stop accidental deletion. A cluster cannot be deleted from the UI, the Management API, or external tools like Terraform, when deletion protection is turned on. For more information about deletion protection, see Change Your Deletion Protection. This setting also turns on deletion protection for App Services.

      Prerequisites

      Permissions Required
      You need the Project Owner or Cluster Manager role for the project containing the cluster you’re deleting.

      Procedure

      • Deleting a cluster deletes all of its data.

      • Deleting a cluster deletes its backups.

      • Deleting a cluster is a permanent action which you cannot reverse.

      To delete a Couchbase Capella cluster:

      1. Open the Settings page for your cluster:

        1. In the navigation breadcrumbs in the Capella UI, do 1 of the following:

          1. Click your organization name and go to Operational.

          2. Click your current project name or search for a project and go to Operational.

          3. Expand the cluster breadcrumb and search for a cluster.

        2. Select the cluster where you want to make changes to your settings.

        3. Go to Settings.

      2. Click Delete Cluster.

      3. Confirm the cluster delete request:

        1. In the confirmation field, enter the name of the cluster that you want to delete.

        2. Click Delete Cluster.

      Once you delete a cluster, it’s queued for automatic deletion and remains visible with the Destroying status. This process can take up to 15 minutes.
