An automatic snapshot is automatically deleted when its retention limit expires. If you delete a cluster, all of its automatic snapshots are also deleted.
MemoryDB provides a deletion API operation that lets you delete a snapshot at any time, regardless of whether the snapshot was created automatically or manually. Because manual snapshots don't have a retention limit, manual deletion is the only way to remove them.
You can delete a snapshot using the MemoryDB console, the AWS CLI, or the MemoryDB API.
The following procedure deletes a snapshot using the MemoryDB console.
