Deleting a file storage

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI installed yet, install and initialize it.

By default, the CLI uses the folder specified when creating the profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific command 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 the 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, go to the directory where you edited the configuration file.

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

      terraform validate
      

      If the configuration is correct, you will get this message:

      Success! The configuration is valid.
      

   3. Run this command:

      terraform plan
      

      You will see a detailed list of resources. No changes will be made at this step. If the configuration contains any errors, Terraform will show them.

   4. Apply the changes:

      terraform apply
      

   5. Type yes and press Enter to confirm the changes.

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.
