How do I delete a MaxCompute project?

Log on to the MaxCompute console as an Alibaba Cloud account or a Resource Access Management (RAM) user with the Super_Administrator project role, then follow the steps in Delete a table or a MaxCompute project.

How do I check the storage space a table occupies?

On the MaxCompute client, run DESC <table_name>; to view the storage space a single table occupies.

MaxCompute does not currently provide a way to view total project storage.

How do I view the operation history of a user?

Use the audit log feature to query user operation records.

Find the user who deleted a project

  1. Log on to the ActionTrail Management Console.

  2. In the left navigation pane, choose Events > Advanced Event Query, then select a region from the top-left corner.

  3. If no query information is available, click Create Trail, complete the Quickly Create Trail form, and click Confirm.

  4. On the Advanced Event Query page, filter by:

    • Service Name: MaxCompute

    • Region: Select the target region

    • Event Name: DeleteProject

  5. In the Actions column, click View Details for the matching event.

  6. In the Event Record section, check the userAgent field to identify how the deletion was performed. For example, "userAgent" : "maxcompute.console.alibabacloud.com" means the project was deleted through the console.

How do I view resource package information?

Run the MaxCompute list resources command to list the resource packages in a project.

How do I view storage resource usage?

Use Resource Observation to monitor resource usage trends for all projects in a quota group:

Resource typeInformation provided
CPUCPU utilization over a specified period

For detailed storage consumption records, see View billing details.

Can I abort multiple jobs at once?

Batch-aborting jobs is not supported. To abort a job, run kill instanceid for each job individually.
