Deleting a Block Volume

Delete a block volume from the Block Volume service when it's no longer needed.

Caution

You can't undo this operation. When you delete a volume, any data on the volume is permanently deleted.
All policy-based backups eventually expire, so if you want to keep a backup of the volume indefinitely, create a manual backup of the volume before you delete it. See Backing Up a Volume and Overview of Block Volume Backups.

Open the navigation menu and select Storage. Under Block Storage, select Block Volumes.

Under List scope, select the compartment that contains the block volume.

In the Block Volumes list, select the name of the volume that you want to delete.

Select Terminate.

In the confirmation dialog box, select Terminate.
Use the oci bv volume delete command and required parameters to delete a block volume:
oci bv volume delete --volume-id volume_ocid [OPTIONS]
For a complete list of flags and variable options for CLI commands, see the Command Line Reference.
Run the DeleteVolume operation and specify the volumeId attribute to delete a block volume.
