Idle clusters still incur charges. If you no longer need a cluster, you can delete a pay-as-you-go cluster or unsubscribe from a subscription cluster to avoid unnecessary costs.
After you delete or unsubscribe from a cluster, its resources are immediately released. All data is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered. Proceed with caution.
Prerequisites
The cluster must be in the Running state.
