Deleting a Snapshot

On Compute Cloud@Customer, you can delete file system snapshots.

There are dependencies between file systems, snapshots, and clones. Compute Cloud@Customer doesn't allow you to delete any resources for which there is a dependency. For details, see Deleting File System Resources Overview.

    1. In the Compute Cloud@Customer Console navigation menu, select File Storage, then select File Systems.

    2. At the top of the page, select the compartment that contains the file system snapshot that you want to delete.

    3. Select the name of the file system where the snapshot resides.

    4. Under Resources, select Snapshots.

    5. Select the Actions menu (An image of the three dot icon.), then select Delete.

    6. Confirm the deletion.

  • Use the oci fs snapshot delete command and required parameters to delete the specified snapshot.

    oci fs snapshot delete --snapshot-id <snapshot_OCID> [OPTIONS]

    For a complete list of CLI commands, flags, and options, see the Command Line Reference.
