# Dissociating a Resource

If you no longer need to back up an associated resource, dissociate it from the vault.

After a resource is dissociated, the backup policy of the vault no longer has any effect on the resource. In addition, all manual and automatic backups of this resource will be deleted. Deleted backups cannot be used for data restoration. Exercise caution when performing this operation.

Dissociating a resource from a vault does not affect the performance of services on the resource.
