Deleting a service instance

Deleting a managed service instance IBM Cloud

When you delete a Discovery service instance, the data associated with your service is also removed.

Only the owner or someone with Administrator role-level access to the service instance can delete it.

To delete your Discovery service instance, complete the following steps:

1. From the IBM Cloud Resource list, expand the AI/Machine Learning section.
2. Find the service instance that you want to delete.
3. Click the Actions menu icon, and then select Delete.

The data that is associated with the service instance is retained for 7 days. After the 7-day retention period, it is deleted. If a service instance is deleted by mistake, you can restore it as long as you do so before the 7-day window closes. For more information, see Using resource reclamations in the IBM Cloud documentation.

For more information about how data is handled by IBM Cloud, see the following information:

• Data Processing and Protection Datasheet.
