Generally Available: Delete on-demand backup in Azure DB for MySQL - Flexible Server
You can now manually trigger on-demand backups in Azure DB for MySQL - Flexible Server instead of solely relying on the system-initiated automated backups and schedule. As part of August 2025 release, you can delete on-demand backups that are no longer needed and get more control over backup management and storage costs.
