Deleting a Security Group¶
Scenarios¶
This section describes how to delete security groups.
Notes and Constraints¶
The default security group is named default and cannot be deleted.
A security group cannot be deleted if it is being used by instances, such as cloud servers, containers, and databases.
If you need to delete such a security group, delete the instances or change the security group used by the instance first.
A security group cannot be deleted if it is used as the source or destination of a rule in another security group.
Delete or modify the rule and delete the security group again.
