fsx_delete_file_system: Deletes a file system, deleting its contents

Description

Deletes a file system, deleting its contents. After deletion, the file system no longer exists, and its data is gone. Any existing automatic backups will also be deleted.

Usage

fsx_delete_file_system(FileSystemId, ClientRequestToken,
  WindowsConfiguration)

Arguments

FileSystemId

[required] The ID of the file system you want to delete.

ClientRequestToken

(Optional) A string of up to 64 ASCII characters that Amazon FSx uses to ensure idempotent deletion. This is automatically filled on your behalf when using the AWS CLI or SDK.

WindowsConfiguration

Request syntax

svc$delete_file_system(
  FileSystemId = "string",
  ClientRequestToken = "string",
  WindowsConfiguration = list(
    SkipFinalBackup = TRUE|FALSE,
    FinalBackupTags = list(
      list(
        Key = "string",
        Value = "string"
      )
    )
  )
)

Details

By default, when you delete an Amazon FSx for Windows File Server file system, a final backup is created upon deletion. This final backup is not subject to the file system's retention policy, and must be manually deleted.

The DeleteFileSystem action returns while the file system has the DELETING status. You can check the file system deletion status by calling the DescribeFileSystems action, which returns a list of file systems in your account. If you pass the file system ID for a deleted file system, the DescribeFileSystems returns a FileSystemNotFound error.

The data in a deleted file system is also deleted and can't be recovered by any means.
