Container Compute Service:Delete a cluster

Last Updated:Feb 27, 2026

Delete unused Container Compute Service (ACS) clusters to stop incurring charges for idle resources.

Important

Cluster deletion is irreversible. Back up any data you need before you proceed.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure that you have:

  • Removed all workloads from the cluster, including stateless applications, stateful applications, tasks, and scheduled tasks

If workloads remain in the cluster, the deletion may fail. For more information, see Workloads.

Delete a cluster in the ACS console

  1. Log on to the ACS console. In the left navigation pane, click Clusters.

  2. On the Clusters page, find the cluster you want to delete.

  3. (Optional) Disable deletion protection.

    If deletion protection is enabled for the cluster, you must disable it first. Otherwise, skip this step.

    In the Actions column, choose More > Disable Deletion Protection. In the Disable Deletion Protection dialog box, click Disable Protection.

  4. In the Actions column, choose More > Delete.

  5. In the panel that appears, select the resources to delete and click Delete. Enter the cluster name to confirm, then click Confirm Deletion.
