Virtual Private Cloud:DeleteVpc

Last Updated:Mar 04, 2024

Deletes a virtual private cloud (VPC).

Operation description

When you call this operation, take note of the following limits:

  • Before you delete a VPC, make sure that all resources deployed in the VPC are released or removed, such as vSwitches, instances, and high-availability virtual IP addresses (HAVIPs).

  • You can delete only a VPC that is in the Available state.

  • The DeleteVpc operation is asynchronous. After you send the request, the system returns a request ID. However, the operation is still being performed in the system background. You can call the DescribeVpcAttribute operation to query the status of a VPC:

    • If the VPC is in the Deleting state, the VPC is being deleted.
    • If you cannot query the VPC, the VPC is deleted.
  • You cannot repeatedly call the DeleteVpc operation to delete a VPC within the specified period of time.
