Delete a vector database

Delete a database to remove it for good, along with its collections and its snapshots. This stops its compute, disk and snapshot charges.

Before you begin

You need a role with Delete permission on Vector Database. Deleting a database permanently removes all its data, collections and configuration, and its snapshots go with it. Keep a copy of what you need outside the database first, for example with Qdrant snapshots you download.

Delete the database

1. In Manage Vector Database, select Actions in the database’s row, then Delete. Delete is available in any status.
2. In Delete Database, type the database name to confirm. Delete becomes available when the name matches.
3. Select Delete.

TIR confirms that the database was deleted and removes it from the list.

What to do next

Create a new database with Create a vector database. For help with a message, see Troubleshooting Vector Database.
