Deleting an EVS Snapshot
Scenarios
If you no longer require certain snapshots or the snapshot quantity reaches the maximum allowed, you can delete the snapshots.
Prerequisites
- The snapshot status must be Available or Error.
Notes and Constraints
- If a snapshot is deleted, disks rolled back or created from this snapshot are not affected.
- If a snapshot's source disk is deleted, all snapshots of this disk will also be deleted.
- If you reinstall or change the server OS, snapshots of the system disk are automatically deleted. Those of the data disks can be used as usual.
- A snapshot whose name starts with autobk_snapshot_vbs_, manualbk_snapshot_vbs_, autobk_snapshot_csbs_, or manualbk_snapshot_csbs_ is automatically generated during backup. You can only check details of such snapshots and cannot delete them.
Procedure
- Log in to the console.
- Click
in the upper left corner and choose Storage > Elastic Volume Service.
The Elastic Volume Service page is displayed.
- In the navigation pane on the left, choose Elastic Volume Service > Snapshots.
The Snapshots page is displayed.
- In the snapshot list, locate the target snapshot and click Delete in the Operation column.
- In the displayed dialog box, confirm the information and click Yes.
