Deleting a Mount Target

Delete a File Storage mount target.

Caution

Deleting the mount target also deletes all its exports of associated file systems. File systems are no longer available through the deleted mount target.

Deleting a mount target has no effect on file system data or file system snapshots.

High performance mount targets can't be immediately deleted. First, you must downgrade the mount target and then, after the billing cycle ends, you can delete the standard mount target. For more information, see Mount Target Performance.

    1. Open the navigation menu and click Storage. Under File Storage, click Mount Targets.
    2. In the List scope section, under Compartment, select a compartment.
    3. Find the mount target that you want to delete, click the Actions menu (Actions Menu), and then click Delete.
    4. Click Delete to confirm.

  • Use the fs mount-target delete command and required parameters to delete a mount target:

    oci fs mount-target delete --mount-target-id <mount_target_OCID>

    For a complete list of parameters and values for CLI commands, see the CLI Command Reference.

  • Run the DeleteMountTarget operation to delete a mount target.
