Delete a stream

Overview

If you no longer need a stream, then delete it. Also, by deleting a stream, it won't take up quota and you won't be billed for it in the future.

Note: If you want to make sure that all "in flight" data is transferred cleanly from the source database to the destination, make sure that you pause the stream (and wait for Datastream to indicate that it's paused) before deleting it.

Delete a stream

1. Go to the Streams page in the Google Cloud Console.

   Go to the Streams page

2. Click the stream that you want to delete.

3. As a best practice, in the Stream status pane of the Stream details page, verify that the status of the stream isn't Running. If it is, then pause the stream.

4. Click DELETE.

5. In the dialog, enter Delete in the text field, and then click DELETE.
