    Data Management:Remove one or more instances

    Last Updated:Mar 28, 2024

    If you no longer need to use a database instance, you can manually remove the instance from the Data Management (DMS) console.

    Prerequisites

    You are a database administrator (DBA) or a DMS administrator.

    Usage notes

    • After a database instance is removed from the instance list, you can no longer perform operations on the databases of the database instance in the DMS console.

    • After a database instance is removed, your permissions on the database instance become invalid and are automatically revoked.

    • After a database instance is removed, the database instance is disconnected from the DMS console. This does not affect the instance itself.

    Procedure

    1. Log on to the DMS console V5.0.

    2. In the left-side instance list, find the instance that you want to remove and right-click the instance name.

    3. Then, select Delete Instance. In the message that appears, click OK.

      Note

      To remove multiple instances at a time, choose Data Assets > Instances in the top navigation bar. On the Instance List tab of the Instances page, select the instances that you want to remove, move the pointer over More in the upper part of the instance list and then select Delete Instance. In the message that appears, click OK.
