Terminating your database
When you no longer need a database, terminate it to reduce costs and streamline operations. When you terminate a database, all data is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.
|
If you have administrator privileges in the DataStax Astra Portal for your team, you can contact DataStax to terminate databases that are owned by other team members. For example, if a team member leaves your organization and you want to delete their databases, contact DataStax with the names of the databases owned by that team member. |
