Delete a TiDB Cluster

This document describes how to delete a TiDB cluster on TiDB Cloud.

You can delete a cluster at any time by performing the following steps:

  1. Navigate to the Clusters page of your project.

  2. In the row of your target cluster to be deleted, click ....

    Tip:

    Alternatively, you can also click the name of the target cluster to go to its overview page, and then click ... in the upper-right corner.

  3. Click Delete in the drop-down menu.

  4. In the cluster deleting window, confirm the deletion:

    • If you have at least one manual or automatic backup, you can see the number of backups and the charging policy for backups. Click Continue and enter <organization name>/<project name>/<cluster name>.
    • If you do not have any backups, just enter <organization name>/<project name>/<cluster name>.

    If you want to restore the cluster sometime in the future, make sure that you have a backup of the cluster. Otherwise, you cannot restore it anymore. For more information about how to back up TiDB Cloud Dedicated clusters, see Back Up and Restore TiDB Cloud Dedicated Data.

    Note:

    TiDB Cloud Serverless clusters only support in-place restoring from backups and do not support restoring data after the deletion. If you want to delete a TiDB Cloud Serverless cluster and restore its data in the future, you can use Dumpling to export your data as a backup.

  5. Click I understand, delete it.

    Once a backed up TiDB Cloud Dedicated cluster is deleted, the existing backup files of the cluster are moved to the recycle bin.

    • Automatic backups will expire and be automatically deleted once the retention period ends. The default retention period is 7 days if you don't modify it.
    • Manual backups will be kept in the Recycle Bin until manually deleted.

    Note:

    Please be aware that backups will continue to incur charges until deleted.

    If you want to restore a TiDB Cloud Dedicated cluster from recycle bin, see Restore a deleted cluster.
