If you are an administrator, you can delete an instance of Druva AWS proxy at any time. After the delete operation, Druva AWS proxy loses the persistent connection. However, you can activate Druva AWS proxy again, see Reactivate Druva AWS proxy.
📝 Notes
You can delete the Druva AWS proxyonly if it is not attached to any administrative group, AWS policy, or a DR plan. Also, you can delete a registered AWS account on the Management Console only if all the attached AWS policies are deleted.
The Druva AWS proxy is associated with a DR plan when it uses the same AWS region and AWS account as the DR plan.
To delete a DR plan, delete all the VMs that are a part of the DR plan one by one, and then delete the DR plan.
You can delete multiple Druva AWS proxies simultaneously, provided they are not associated with any DR plans. If a few proxies are associated with DR plans, multiple selections and deletions will only delete those not associated with any DR plans.
