What happens if you delete an EBS volume that has snapshot?

Question

Deleting an EBSVolume does not delete its snapshots. Snapshots are stored separately in Amazon S3, not tied directly to the volume anymore. You can use snapshot later to Restore to new EBS Volume. Copy it to another region

Mahesh B · Answer

When you delete an EBS volume that has an associated snapshot, the volume is removed, but the snapshot remains intact and can be used to create new volumes in the future. This provides a way to preserve data even after the original volume has been deleted.
