This topic describes how to manually release pay-as-you-go PostgreSQL instances or unsubscribe from PostgreSQL yearly/monthly subscription instances according to your service requirements.

Prerequisites

You have created an instance, and the instance is in the Running status.

Precautions

Once an instance is deleted or unsubscribed from, its associated read-only nodes are also deleted or unsubscribed from.

Deleted or unsubscribed instances are removed from the instance list. The backup file is displayed in the Backups of deleted instances list and retained for seven days.

Deleting an instance

In the upper-left corner of the top menu bar, select the project and region for the instance.

tip

If the project of the instance has not been set, the project should be selected as All resources.

Click on Instances in the left navigation bar.

Go to the Instances page, click … > Delete instance in the Actions column of the target instance.

Enter the name of the instance to delete and click OK in the pop-up dialog box.

Unsubscribe instance
