Deleting a DB System

You can delete a DB system permanently.

All manual backups of the DB system are retained for the defined retention period.

If Automatic backup retention is set to Retain, all automatic backups of the DB system are retained for the defined retention period. If Automatic backup retention is set to Delete, all automatic backups of the DB system are deleted.

If you have selected Require final backup in the Deletion plan, a final backup is created before deleting the DB system.
