  3. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Delete zone in the bottom right corner.

    Warning

    This action cannot be undone. If you proceed, you must update the zone's TLD delegations from NS1 to your new provider. NS1 has controls in place to prevent lame delegation hijacking, but you should update TLD delegations to point to your new provider as soon as possible.

  4. Review the warning message and click Yes to proceed to delete the zone.
