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 Dedicated clusters, see Back Up and Restore TiDB Dedicated Data.

    Note:

    TiDB 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 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 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 Dedicated cluster from recycle bin, see Restore a deleted cluster.
