Delete an Oracle API Platform Cloud Service - Classic Instance

When you no longer require an Oracle API Platform Cloud Service - Classic instance, you can delete it.

When you delete an instance, everything is deleted, including backups.

To delete an Oracle API Platform Cloud Service - Classic instance:

1. From the menu for the service instance on the Oracle API Platform Cloud Service - Classic Services page, select Delete.
2. Enter the database administrator user name and password.
3. (Optional) Set the Force Delete value to true to force the removal of the service instance even if the database instance cannot be reached to delete the database schemas. If set to true, you may need to delete the associated database schemas manually on the database instance if they are not deleted as part of the service instance delete operation.

   This value defaults to true.

4. (Optional) Set the Should backup be skipped value to true to skip backing up the service instance before deleting it.

   This value defaults to true.

5. Click Delete.
   The database itself is not deleted. Only the repository and schemas created for the Oracle API Platform Cloud Service - Classic instance are deleted.
