Deleting a Route

Scenarios

You can delete a custom route from a route table.

If a route table is associated with a subnet, deleting rules from the route table may affect how and where traffic is directed. Be careful with this operation as it may interrupt services.

Notes and Constraints

• System routes cannot be deleted.
