Point-In-Time recovery for a deleted RDS database

Question

This is a pretty small question, maybe the answer is too obvious that I can't see it.

Can you still do Point-In-Time recovery for an RDS database instance if that instance was deleted? Or is all the data since the last snapshot gone?

To clarify a bit better (an example):

Last snapshot was on 05/xx/xxxx at 23:00 (11PM). My database got deleted by accident on 06/xx/xxxx at 05:00 (5AM). Is the data created in the 6 hours gone, or can I still use Point-In-Time recovery for that data?

Answer 1

When you delete an RDS instance all its automated snapshots are deleted, and all the backing resources are deleted. The only thing left to restore from will be any manual snapshots you created, or any other manual backups you created via something like mysqldump.

Answer 2

如果在删除实例时未选择保存实例快照（保存快照是默认操作，并且必须选择不创建快照），那么剩下的就是任何手动快照。
