Deleting ECSs¶

Function¶

This API is used to delete ECSs based on a specified ECS ID list.

This API is an asynchronous API. After the deletion request is successfully delivered, a job ID is returned. This does not mean the deletion is complete. You need to call the API by referring to Querying Task Execution Status to query the job status. The SUCCESS status indicates that the deletion is successful.

You can delete a single ECS or multiple ECSs in a batch. A maximum of 1,000 ECSs can be deleted in a batch.

URI¶

POST /v1/{project_id}/cloudservers/delete

Table 1 describes the parameters in the URI.

**Table 1** Parameter description¶
Parameter	Mandatory	Description
project_id	Yes	Specifies the project ID. For details about how to obtain the ID, see Obtaining a Project ID.

Request¶

Table 2 describes the request parameters.

**Table 2** Request parameters¶
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
servers	Yes	Array of objects	Specifies the ECSs to be deleted. For details, see Table 3.
delete_publicip	No	Boolean	Specifies whether to delete the EIP bound to the ECS when deleting the ECS. If you do not want to delete the EIP, the system only unbinds the EIP from the ECS and reserves the EIP. The value can be true or false. true: When an ECS is deleted, the EIP bound to the ECS is also released regardless of whether delete_on_termination of the EIP is true or false. false: When an ECS is deleted, the EIP is only unbound from the ECS and will not be released regardless of whether delete_on_termination of the EIP is true or false. Note If delete_publicip is not specified, the delete_on_termination value of the EIP decides whether the EIP is released when the ECS is deleted. If delete_on_termination is true and delete_public is null, the EIP is released when the ECS is deleted. If delete_on_termination is false and delete_public is null, the EIP is only unbound from the ECS and will not be released when the ECS is deleted.
delete_volume	No	Boolean	Specifies whether to delete the data disks attached to an ECS when deleting the ECS. If you set the parameter value to false, the system only detaches the disks from the ECS and reserves the disks. The default value is false. true: indicates to delete the data disks attached to the ECS when deleting the ECS. false: indicates only to detach the data disks attached to the ECS when deleting the ECS.

**Table 3** **servers** field description¶
Parameter	Mandatory	Type	Description
id	Yes	String	Specifies the ID of the ECS to be deleted.
