[Yandex Cloud documentation](../../index.md) > [Yandex MPP Analytics for PostgreSQL](../index.md) > [Step-by-step guides](index.md) > Clusters > Deleting a cluster # Deleting a Yandex MPP Analytics for PostgreSQL cluster ## Before deleting a cluster {#before-you-delete} * If deletion protection is on for the cluster, [disable it](update.md#change-additional-settings). * [Save the cluster ID](cluster-list.md#list-clusters). You will need the cluster ID when restoring a deleted cluster from a backup. After you delete a database cluster, its backups will be kept for seven days for recovery purposes. ## Deleting a cluster {#delete} {% list tabs group=instructions %} - Management console {#console} 1. Open the [folder dashboard](https://console.yandex.cloud). 1. Navigate to **Yandex MPP Analytics for PostgreSQL**. 1. Click ![image](../../_assets/console-icons/ellipsis.svg) for the cluster in question, select **Delete**, and confirm the deletion. - CLI {#cli} If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI yet, [install and initialize it](../../cli/quickstart.md#install). The folder used by default is the one specified when [creating](../../cli/operations/profile/profile-create.md) the CLI profile. To change the default folder, use the `yc config set folder-id ` command. You can also specify a different folder for any command using `--folder-name` or `--folder-id`. If you access a resource by its name, the search will be limited to the default folder. If you access a resource by its ID, the search will be global, i.e., through all folders based on access permissions. To delete a cluster, run this command: ```bash yc managed-greenplum cluster delete ``` You can get the cluster ID and name with the [list of clusters in the folder](cluster-list.md#list-clusters). - Terraform {#tf} With [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/), you can quickly create a cloud infrastructure in Yandex Cloud and manage it using configuration files. These files store the infrastructure description written in HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL). If you change the configuration files, Terraform automatically detects which part of your configuration is already deployed, and what should be added or removed. Terraform is distributed under the [Business Source License](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/blob/main/LICENSE). The [Yandex Cloud provider for Terraform](https://github.com/yandex-cloud/terraform-provider-yandex) is distributed under the [MPL-2.0](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/) license. For more information about the provider resources, see the relevant documentation on the [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/yandex/index.html) website or [its mirror](../../terraform/index.md). If you do not have Terraform yet, [install it and configure the Yandex Cloud provider](../../tutorials/infrastructure-management/terraform-quickstart.md#install-terraform). To manage infrastructure using Terraform under a service account or user accounts (a Yandex account, a federated account, or a local user), [authenticate](../../terraform/authentication.md) using the appropriate method. To delete a cluster created using Terraform: 1. In the command line, go to the folder that houses the current Terraform configuration file with an infrastructure plan. 1. Delete the resources using this command: ```bash terraform destroy ``` {% note alert %} Terraform will delete all the resources you created using it, such as clusters, networks, subnets, and VMs. {% endnote %} 1. Type `yes` and press **Enter**. {% note warning %} The Terraform provider limits the amount of time for all Yandex MPP Analytics for PostgreSQL cluster operations to complete to 120 minutes. Operations exceeding the set timeout are interrupted. {% cut "How do I change these limits?" %} Add the `timeouts` block to the cluster description, for example: ```hcl resource "yandex_mdb_greenplum_cluster" "" { ... timeouts { create = "1h30m" # 1 hour 30 minutes update = "2h" # 2 hours delete = "30m" # 30 minutes } } ``` {% endcut %} {% endnote %} - REST API {#api} 1. [Get an IAM token for API authentication](../api-ref/authentication.md) and put it into an environment variable: ```bash export IAM_TOKEN="" ``` 1. Call the [Cluster.Delete](../api-ref/Cluster/delete.md) method, e.g., via the following [cURL](https://curl.se/) request: ```bash curl \ --request DELETE \ --header "Authorization: Bearer $IAM_TOKEN" \ --url 'https://mdb.api.cloud.yandex.net/managed-greenplum/v1/clusters/' ``` You can get the cluster ID with the [list of clusters in the folder](cluster-list.md#list-clusters). 1. Check the [server response](../api-ref/Cluster/delete.md#yandex.cloud.operation.Operation) to make sure your request was successful. - gRPC API {#grpc-api} 1. [Get an IAM token for API authentication](../api-ref/authentication.md) and put it into an environment variable: ```bash export IAM_TOKEN="" ``` 1. Clone the [cloudapi](https://github.com/yandex-cloud/cloudapi) repository: ```bash cd ~/ && git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/yandex-cloud/cloudapi ``` Below, we assume that the repository contents reside in the `~/cloudapi/` directory. 1. Call the [ClusterService.Delete](../api-ref/grpc/Cluster/delete.md) method, e.g., via the following [gRPCurl](https://github.com/fullstorydev/grpcurl) request: ```bash grpcurl \ -format json \ -import-path ~/cloudapi/ \ -import-path ~/cloudapi/third_party/googleapis/ \ -proto ~/cloudapi/yandex/cloud/mdb/greenplum/v1/cluster_service.proto \ -rpc-header "Authorization: Bearer $IAM_TOKEN" \ -d '{ "cluster_id": "" }' \ mdb.api.cloud.yandex.net:443 \ yandex.cloud.mdb.greenplum.v1.ClusterService.Delete ``` You can get the cluster ID with the [list of clusters in the folder](cluster-list.md#list-clusters). 1. Check the [server response](../api-ref/grpc/Cluster/delete.md#yandex.cloud.operation.Operation) to make sure your request was successful. {% endlist %}
