Deleting a routing table in the console

To delete a routing table in the IBM Cloud console, follow these steps:

1. From the IBM Cloud console, select the Navigation Menu , then click Infrastructure > Network > Routing tables. The routing tables for VPC page appear.

2. Click the Actions menu next to the routing table that you want to delete, then click Delete. Click Delete again to confirm the deletion. Alternatively, you can click Actions > Delete from the routing table details page.

   You can delete a routing table only when it does not have any attached subnets and is not the default for its VPC. If the routing table that you want to delete is attached to a subnet, you can detach it by either reassigning the routing table to another subnet or by deleting the subnet. To reassign the subnet, go to the details page of the routing table, click the Subnets tab, and use the Actions menu to reassign the subnet to another routing table. To delete the subnet, go to the list of subnets, and click the Actions menu , and select Delete.
