Deleting a file storage

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud (CLI) command line interface yet, install and initialize it.

The folder specified when creating the CLI profile is used by default. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can specify a different folder using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

1. See the description of the CLI command for deleting a file storage:

   yc compute filesystem delete --help
   

2. Get a list of file storages in the default folder:

   yc compute filesystem list
   

   Result:

   +----------------------+-------------------+------------+---------------+--------+-------------+
   |          ID          |        NAME       |    SIZE    |     ZONE      | STATUS | DESCRIPTION |
   +----------------------+-------------------+------------+---------------+--------+-------------+
   | epdtcr9blled******** | first-filesystem  | 1073741824 | ru-central1-a | READY  |             |
   | epd3f4gv8bs4******** | second-filesystem | 1073741824 | ru-central1-a | READY  |             |
   +----------------------+-------------------+------------+---------------+--------+-------------+
   

3. Run this command, specifying the name or ID of the file storage you want to delete:

   yc compute filesystem delete <file_storage_name_or_ID>
   

4. Make sure the file storage has been deleted:

   yc compute filesystem list
   

If you do not have Terraform yet, install it and configure its Yandex Cloud provider.

1. Open the Terraform configuration file and delete the section specifying the storage:

   Example of specifying a file storage in Terraform configuration

   ...
   resource "yandex_compute_filesystem" "default" {
     name = "fs-name"
     type = "network-ssd"
     zone = "ru-central1-a"
     size = 150
   }
   ...
   

2. Apply the changes:

   1. In the terminal, change to the folder where you edited the configuration file.

   2. Make sure the configuration file is correct using the command:

      terraform validate
      

      If the configuration is correct, the following message is returned:

      Success! The configuration is valid.
      

   3. Run the command:

      terraform plan
      

      The terminal will display a list of resources with parameters. No changes are made at this step. If the configuration contains errors, Terraform will point them out.

   4. Apply the configuration changes:

      terraform apply
      

   5. Confirm the changes: type yes in the terminal and press Enter.

You can check the storage deletion using the management console or this CLI command:

yc compute filesystem list

Use the delete REST API method for the Filesystem resource or the FilesystemService/Delete gRPC API call.
