Deleting the Cluster
Last updated:2026-01-05 10:28:56
Scenarios
When users no longer need a TDMQ for RabbitMQ cluster, you can delete it. To avoid accidental cluster deletion, a cluster will enter a 7-day isolation period after initial deletion. During the isolation period, you can manually recover or delete the cluster. After the isolation period ends, the cluster is completely deleted, and all data is irrecoverable.
Prerequisites
The instance does not have deletion protection enabled. If it is enabled, disable it before performing the deletion operation. For specific steps, see Configuring Deletion Protection.
The instance status is "running (healthy/alarm)".
Operation Steps
Manual Isolation
1. Log in to the TDMQ for RabbitMQ console.
2. In the left sidebar, choose Cluster. On the cluster management list page, choose More > Terminate in the Operation column.
3. In the deletion pop-up window, confirm the resource details and click Next. After reading the refund rules and confirming the refund details, click Confirm Destruction to delete the cluster.
Note:
1. After a cluster is deleted, the cluster remains isolated for 7 days. During this period, you can manually delete the cluster permanently or restore it. After this period, the cluster is permanently deleted along with all resources and metadata, which cannot be recovered. It is recommended to back up your data in advance.
2. During the isolation period, the cluster is not billed, and message reading and writing in the cluster are prohibited; certain console operations and cloud API calls are restricted. Any saved and unconsumed messages in the cluster will be discarded. Make sure that you back up your data in advance.
3. If a discount or a promo voucher is used during your purchase, it will not be returned.
Automatic Isolation upon Expiration or Overdue Payment
Yearly/Monthly subscription (prepaid) instances can continue to operate normally for 24 hours after expiration or overdue payment. After that, they enter a 7‑day isolation period.
Postpaid by hour instances can continue to operate normally for 24 hours after expiration or overdue payment. After that, they enter a 7‑day isolation period.
During the isolation period, you can manually delete the cluster permanently or restore it. After this period, the cluster is permanently deleted along with all resources and metadata, which cannot be recovered. It is recommended to back up your data in advance.
During the isolation period, the cluster is not billed, and message reading and writing in the cluster are prohibited; both console operations and cloud API calls are restricted. Any saved and unconsumed messages in the cluster will be discarded. Make sure that you back up your data in advance.
Manually Deleting a Cluster Permanently
Clusters in the isolation period can be manually and permanently deleted. After deletion, all data will be cleared and become unrecoverable. Back up your data in advance.
1. Log in to the TDMQ for RabbitMQ console.
2. In the Operation column of the instance list page, choose More > Terminate.
3. In the pop-up window for confirmation of deletion, click Submit to delete a cluster completely.
