  "content": "\nWhen you delete an Active-Active database (formerly known as CRDB),\nall instances of the Active-Active database are deleted from all participating clusters.\n\n\nThis action is immediate, non-reversible, and has no rollback.\n\n\nBecause Active-Active databases are made up of instances on multiple participating clusters,\nto restore a deleted Active-Active database you must create the database again with all of its instances\nand then restore the data to the database from backup.\n\nWe recommended that you:\n\n- Back up your data and test the restore on another database before you delete an Active-Active database.\n- Consider [flushing the data]() from the database\n    so that you can keep the Active-Active database configuration and restore the data to it if necessary.\n",
