How to remove a DNS zone on a cPanel server

Question

What is the proper way to remove a DNS zone on a cPanel server?

Answer

DNS zones can be removed via the Home >> DNS Functions >> Delete a DNS Zone page in WHM:

You can read more about this DNS function in our documentation here:

Delete a DNS Zone

You can also remove a DNS zone by using the killdns script:

/scripts/killdns domain.com

Note: This command should be used with caution and generally should only be used for domains that are not managed by a cPanel account on the server.
