  2. On the Instance Information page, click Clear Data in the upper-right corner.

    Delete data
    • All Data: runs the FLUSHALL command to delete all data of the instance. Deleted data cannot be restored.
    • Expired Data: runs the SCAN command to batch delete all expired data of the instance. Deleted data cannot be restored. You can select Update Now or Update During Maintenance.
    Warning Data deletion immediately takes effect and deleted data cannot be restored. This may affect your business. Proceed with caution. We recommend that you back up the data of an ApsaraDB for Redis instance before you delete data. For more information, see Automatic or manual backup.
  4. Click OK.
    Note If you select All Data, you can specify whether to back up the data after you click OK.
