1. Delete all the forwarding policies added to HTTP and HTTPS listeners of the load balancer.
2. Delete the redirect created for each HTTP listener of the load balancer.
3. Remove all the backend servers from the backend server groups associated with each listener of the load balancer.
4. Delete all the listeners added to the load balancer.
5. Delete all backend server groups associated with each listener of the load balancer.

   A confirmation dialog box is displayed.

4. In the displayed dialog box, enter DELETE.
5. Click OK.
