Delete DNS zone
This function deletes a DNS zone.
Important:
- The WHM API 1 adddns function adds an XDNS entry for a domain in the following locations:
- The /var/cpanel/users/USER file, where USER represents the domain's owner.
- The /etc/vdomainaliases/DOMAIN directory, where DOMAIN represents the new zone's domain.
- The /etc/vfilters/DOMAIN directory, where DOMAIN represents the new zone's domain.
- This function does not automatically delete these entries. You must manually delete these entries, or you cannot use this domain as a value in other API functions.
- You cannot delete other DNS zones that reside on Write-only servers in a DNS cluster.
Important:
When you disable the DNS role, the system disables this function.
NOTE:
You cannot use this function to delete temporary domains.
