Deleting Snapshots

Last Updated At: 2025-10-21 09:10:00

Overview

When a snapshot is no longer needed, you can delete it to release virtual resources.

Note

  • When a snapshot is deleted, only the data exclusive to that snapshot will be deleted without any impact on the file system where it was created.
  • All snapshots have been incremented to retain data, and deleting one of the snapshots will not affect other inventory snapshots.
  • When a snapshot is deleted, all data in the snapshot will be deleted, and deleted data is irrecoverable. As the deleted snapshot is irrecoverable, act with caution.

Directions

  1. Log in to the CFS console.
  2. On the snapshot list page, click Delete on the right side of the target snapshot.
  3. In the pop-up dialog box, click OK.
