Introduction

This document describes how to delete an existing node pool from a cluster via the TKE console. You can delete idle node pools to reduce the waste of resources.

Prerequisites

• You have opened the “Node pool list” page. For more information, see Viewing a Node Pool.

Directions

1. On the card page of the desired node pool, choose More -> Delete in the upper-right corner, as shown in the following figure:
   
2. In the “Delete node pool” window, specify whether to retain the nodes based on requirements.

   Note：

   • Terminate postpaid node is selected by default. You can clear the option as required.
   • Once terminated, pay-as-you-go nodes cannot be restored. Proceed with caution and back up data in advance.

3. Click OK and wait until the node pool is deleted.
