This article documents the methods you can use to delete an existing Microsoft Planetary Computer Pro GeoCatalog resource.
- Using the Azure portal.
- Using the Azure REST API.
- Using the Azure SDKs (.NET, Java, JavaScript, Python, Go).
Before you proceed with deleting your GeoCatalog resource, download a backup of any data, assets, SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog (STAC) Items, or render configurations that you wish to preserve. After deletion is complete, it won't be possible to access any data within your GeoCatalog Configuration or Collections.
Before you continue with the deletion steps, make sure you're ready to delete the resource.
