When you release a PolarDB for PostgreSQL cluster, PolarDB automatically and asynchronously archives it to the Cluster Recycle Bin as level-2 backups at approximately 150 MB/s. You can delete individual backup sets from the recycle bin to free up storage.
Deleting all backup sets for a cluster permanently removes the ability to restore it. Keep at least one backup set if you may need to restore the cluster.

-
