# Delete DNS zone record

This function deletes a DNS zone record.

Warning:

Incorrect use of this function could cause domains to resolve incorrectly. Exercise extreme caution when you remove DNS zone records.

To effectively use this function, use the following workflow:
1. Run the dumpzone function.
2. Locate the Line value that corresponds to the zone record to delete.
3. Use the values from that zone record to formulate the appropriate removezonerecord parameters.

Important:

 * When you disable the DNS role, the system disables this function.
 * You cannot use this function to modify temporary domains.
