Deleting a snapshot-consistent group also deletes all snapshots in the group. Deleted snapshots cannot be restored. Ensure you no longer need the snapshots before proceeding.
Prerequisites for deletion
Deletion fails if any of these conditions apply:
| Condition | Resolution |
|---|---|
| Snapshots in the group are shared | Unshare all snapshots. See Unshare a snapshot. |
| Cloud disks were created from snapshots in the group | Force-delete the snapshots or release the disks. See Delete a snapshot and Release a disk. |
| Custom images were created from snapshots in the group | Delete the custom images. See Delete a custom image. |
Use the ECS console

In the top navigation bar, select the region and resource group.
-
On the Snapshot-consistent Groups tab, find the target group and click Delete Snapshot-consistent Group in the Actions column.
-
Confirm the group and snapshot details, then click OK.
-
If the group contains no snapshots, only the group is deleted.
-
If the group contains snapshots, the group and all snapshots are deleted.

Tip: If deletion fails, verify that no snapshots in the group are shared, no disks were created from its snapshots, and no custom images were created from its snapshots. Resolve blocking conditions using the Prerequisites for deletion table, then retry.
