ApsaraDB for Redis provides a recycle bin to store ApsaraDB for Redis instances that have expired, have overdue payments, or are released. You can unlock, recreate, or permanently delete instances in the recycle bin.

Precautions

  • When a Tair instance expires or has overdue payments, the instance is handled based on the amount of time elapsed since the expiration date and the billing method of the instance. For more information, see Expiration and overdue payments.
  • Pay-as-you-go instances that are manually released are also moved to the recycle bin. These instances are deleted after they are retained in the recycle bin for seven days.
Warning When the grace period of the instance is over, the system permanently deletes the instance.

  1. Log on to the ApsaraDB for Redis console and go to the Instances page. In the top navigation bar, select the region in which the instance that you want to manage resides.
  2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Recycle.
  3. On the Recycle page, perform an operation in the Actions column based on your business requirements. The following table describes instance states and their matched operations.
