A manual snapshot is a full backup that is deleted only when you manually delete it using the AWS Management Console or AWS CLI. You cannot manually delete an automatic snapshot because automatic snapshots are deleted only when the snapshot's retention period expires or you delete the snapshot's cluster.
To delete a manual cluster snapshot using the AWS Management Console, complete the following steps.
-
Sign in to the AWS Management Console, and open the Amazon DocumentDB console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/docdb
. -
In the navigation pane, choose Snapshots.
Tip
If you don't see the navigation pane on the left side of your screen, choose the menu icon (
)
in the upper-left corner of the page. -
In the list of snapshots, choose the button to the left of the snapshot that you want to delete. The snapshot's type must be manual.
-
You can verify that that the snapshot's type is manual by checking if it is listed as
manualorautomaticunder the Type column.
-
-
From the Actions menu, choose Delete. If the Delete option is unavailable, you probably chose an automatic snapshot.
-
On the delete confirmation screen, to delete the snapshot, choose Delete. To keep the snapshot, choose Cancel.
