Deleting a DNS Zone

Delete a domain name service (DNS) zone and its records.

Caution

Deletion permanently removes a zone and its records from the DNS service.
Note

Protected private zones are managed by other OCI services, so you can't delete them directly. For example, if a protected zone was created because a subnet was created, then deleting the subnet would delete the zone.

For more information, see the DNS service overview.

    1. On the Public zones or Private zones list page, find the zone you want to delete. If you need help finding the list page, see Listing DNS Zones.
    2. From the Actions menu (three dots) for the zone you want to delete, select Delete.
    3. Enter the zone name to confirm the deletion, and then select Delete.
  • Use the zone delete command and required parameters to delete a zone:

    oci dns zone delete --zone-name-or-id zone_id or zone_OCID ... [OPTIONS]

    For a complete list of flags and variable options for CLI commands, see the CLI Command Reference.

  • Run the DeleteZone operation to delete a zone.
