# Delete DNS zone record

`GET /removezonerecord`

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](https://go.cpanel.net/serverroles), the system **disables** this function.
 * You **cannot** use this function to modify temporary domains.
