Delete instance

Warning: Deleting an instance permanently removes the instances and all its clusters. You can't undo this later. You can only delete an instance when it is empty (i.e. there are no active VM Clusters in the instance).

To delete your Exadata Infrastructure instance, complete the following steps:

Console

1. Go to the Exadata Database Service page in the Google Cloud console.

   Go to Exadata Database Service

2. In the Exadata Infrastructure section, click the name of the instance you want to delete.

3. Confirm that all VM Clusters have been removed from the Exadata Infrastructure instance that you want to delete and that there are no active VM Clusters. You can view the VM Clusters associated with your Exadata Infrastructure instance on the Exadata Infrastructure details page.

   To learn more on how to delete VM Clusters from your Exadata Infrastructure instance, see Delete VM Clusters.

4. Click Delete at the top of the page.

5. In the Delete Exadata Infrastructure? window, type the Infrastructure ID for your instance to confirm deletion of the instance.

6. Click Confirm.

gcloud

You can use the gcloud oracle-database cloud-exadata-infrastructures delete Google Cloud CLI command to delete an instance using gcloud CLI.

Before running the command, confirm that all VM Clusters have been removed from the Exadata Infrastructure instance that you want to delete and that there are no active VM Clusters.

gcloud oracle-database cloud-exadata-infrastructures delete INSTANCE_ID
--location=REGION_ID

Replace the following:

• INSTANCE_ID: the identifier for the instance that you want to delete.
• REGION_ID: the region for the instance that you want to delete.
