Terminate Astra DB Classic databases
|
Terminating a database permanently deletes all of its data, including automatic backups. You cannot undo this action. |
To terminate a database, you must have the appropriate permissions, such as the Database Administrator role. To programmatically terminate databases, you need an application token with sufficient permissions.

You can use the DevOps API and Astra CLI to delete databases programmatically.
For example, you can use the following curl command to delete a database:
curl -sS -L -X POST "https://api.astra.datastax.com/v2/databases/DB_ID/terminate" \
--header "Authorization: Bearer APPLICATION_TOKEN" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json"A successful request returns 202 Accepted and initiates the termination process.
The database enters Terminating status while deletion occurs. You receive a notification once termination is complete.
