Learn why an audit logs subscription cannot be deleted directly and how to request deletion through Vultr Support.
Audit Logs object storage buckets use compliance-mode immutability. Once a log file is written, it cannot be deleted or modified until its individual retention period expires, and every new file ingested into the bucket sets its own retention timestamp. Because ingestion is continuous, the bucket's overall retention horizon keeps moving forward, which makes self-service deletion structurally impossible while the subscription is actively ingesting logs.
This guide explains how to request deletion of an audit logs subscription through Vultr Support.
Audit logs subscriptions cannot be deleted through the Vultr Console or the Vultr API. Deletion requires a backend override performed by Vultr Support, which permanently destroys all retained logs immediately, even logs that have not reached their retention expiry. Export any logs you need to keep before requesting deletion.
