Clean Up a DB Snapshot

Delete a manual DB snapshot and verify it has been removed.

  1. Describe the snapshot to confirm it is an available manual snapshot before deleting it.
  2. Delete the confirmed manual snapshot.
  3. Re-list the manual snapshots for the source DB instance to verify the deleted snapshot no longer appears.
What you'll need to have ready
  • dbSnapshotIdentifier: The identifier of the manual DB snapshot to delete.
  • dbInstanceIdentifier: The source DB instance whose snapshots are re-listed to verify removal.
