Cloud Parallel File Storage:DeleteFileset

Last Updated:Oct 26, 2026

Deletes a fileset.

Operation description

  • Only CPFS 2.2.0 and CPFS for Lingjun 2.7.0 or later support deleting filesets. After a fileset is deleted, all data in the directory is also deleted and cannot be recovered. Proceed with caution.

  • If deletion protection is enabled, you must disable it before you can delete the fileset.

  • All filesets in the destination file system must be in the CREATED state before you can delete a fileset.

  • Deleting a fileset in a general-purpose CPFS file system immediately releases disk space. Deleting a fileset in a CPFS for Lingjun file system gradually releases disk space. Deleted data cannot be recovered. Proceed with caution.

Test

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

  • Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.

  • API: The API that you can call to perform the action.

  • Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.

  • Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.

    • For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.

    • For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.

  • Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.

  • Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.

Request parameters

Parameter

Type

Required

Description

Example

FileSystemId

string

Yes

The file system ID.

  • CPFS: The ID must start with cpfs-, for example, cpfs-099394bd928c****.

  • CPFS for Lingjun: The ID must start with bmcpfs-, for example, bmcpfs-290w65p03ok64ya****.

bmcpfs-290w65p03ok64ya****

FsetId

string

Yes

The fileset ID.

fset-1902718ea0ae****

DryRun

boolean

No

Specifies whether to perform a dry run on the delete request.

A dry run checks parameter validity and other conditions without actually deleting the resource.

Valid values:

  • true: performs a dry run without deleting the resource. The system checks whether required parameters are specified, the request format, and service limits. If the request fails the dry run, an error is returned. If the request passes the dry run, the HTTP status code 200 is returned.

  • false (default): performs a normal request and deletes the resource if the request passes the dry run.

false

ClientToken

string

No

The client token that is used to ensure the idempotence of the request. You can generate the token on your client to ensure that the token is unique across different requests.

The client token can contain only ASCII characters and cannot exceed 64 characters in length. For more information, see How to ensure idempotence.

Note

If you do not specify this parameter, the system automatically uses the RequestId of the API request as the client token. The RequestId may be different for each API request.
