This topic describes how to delete or unbind a tag in the ECS console. You can unbind a tag from a resource when the tag is no longer needed. If you unbind a tag from a resource and the tag is not bound to any other resources, this tag is automatically deleted.
Prerequisites
The resource is bound to a tag.
Background information
- You can unbind up to 20 tags at a time.
- If you unbind a tag from all its resources such as ECS instances, snapshots, and security groups, this tag is deleted.
Procedure
What to do next
If you implement access control or automated O&M, or generate bill reports based on tags, you need to pay attention to the business changes caused by tag unbinding. For more information, see the "Considering ramifications of future changes" section in Best practices for tag design.
