Deleting a Replication
Delete a File Storage replication resource.
Deleting the replication resource also deletes its associated replication target. If the source file system and replication resource aren't available (such as in the case of an outage), then delete the replication target to make the target file system exportable for failover.
When you delete a replication resource, you can specify which delete mode you want to use. File Storage replication offers three modes to give you the most flexibility for your data recovery requirements. Delete modes aren't available when deleting a replication target. During a disaster recovery operation where the source availability domain isn't available, the replication resource isn't accessible, and the replication process stops.

The amount of time that the replication takes to finish deleting depends on the mode you choose and the amount of data in the replication.
