Scenario
When there is no need to use the snapshot again, you can delete the snapshot to release virtual resources.
Notes
When you delete a snapshot, only the data exclusive to the snapshot will be deleted, and the cloud disk for which the snapshot is created will not be affected.
You can use a snapshot to recover a cloud disk to the data status when the snapshot is created. Deleting a snapshot created earlier for a cloud disk will not affect the continued use of snapshots created later.
If the snapshot has an associated image, please delete the image before deleting the snapshot.
When a snapshot is deleted, all data within the snapshot will be simultaneously erased and cannot be retrieved. Once deleted, snapshots cannot be restored. Please proceed with caution.
Instructions
1. Log in to the Snapshot List page.
2. You can delete snapshots in the following ways:
a. Single deletion: Click Delete in the row of the snapshot to be deleted.
b. Batch deletion: Select all snapshots to be deleted (ensure that the snapshots are not in task status), and click Delete above the list.
3. Click OK.
You can use the DeleteSnapshots API to delete a snapshot. For specific operations, please refer to Delete Snapshot.
