Delete a Cluster
- Capella Operational
Deleting a cluster securely deletes all data.
You can turn on deletion protection for sensitive clusters to stop accidental deletion. A cluster cannot be deleted from the UI, the Management API, or external tools like Terraform, when deletion protection is turned on. For more information about deletion protection, see Change Your Deletion Protection. This setting also turns on deletion protection for App Services. |
