Delete an SFS

Deleting an SFS removes its storage and every file on it for good, and stops billing for it.

Before you begin

• The Dataset permission in your project policy. SFS shares this permission with Object Storage, Block Storage, and Parallel File System.
• Copies of any files you need, kept somewhere else, such as TIR Datasets or storage outside TIR. Deleting an SFS is permanent.
• The SFS unmounted from every instance and out of use by every active training job. If it is still in use, the delete is refused with a list of the instances or jobs using it. See Mount an SFS on an instance.

Delete the SFS

1. In Manage Shared File-System, open the SFS’s Actions menu and select Delete File-System.
2. Tick “I understand and want to delete file-system <name>.”, where <name> is the SFS’s name.
3. Select Delete.

The SFS leaves your list. Deleting an instance or a training job works differently: any SFS it had mounted stays in the list, ready to mount elsewhere, until you delete it yourself.
