delete ExpressRoute VPN gateway

Hi @FPI Erick Aspiras(Erick Aspiras),

Thank you for reaching out on Microsoft Q&A forum.

I understand you want to safely delete an ExpressRoute VPN gateway. Please follow these steps:

1.Check for Dependencies Before deleting the gateway, confirm no active connections or dependencies exist to avoid impacting other resources. In the Azure portal, navigate to the gateway > Connections to review and delete any listed items. Alternatively, use these Azure CLI commands to verify:

az network express-route gateway connection list --gateway-name <GatewayName> --resource-group <ResourceGroup>

Make sure the connection list is empty. Reference: Azure CLI ExpressRoute Gateway Delete

2.Delete the Gateway Once dependencies are cleared, delete the gateway with:

az network vnet-gateway delete --name <GatewayName> --resource-group <ResourceGroup> --no-wait

3.Then, remove any associated resources such as public IPs if they are no longer needed:

az network public-ip delete --name <PublicIPName> --resource-group <ResourceGroup>

4.Also, delete the GatewaySubnet from the virtual network if applicable.

5.Verify Deletion Confirm your gateway is deleted by listing the gateways:

az network express-route gateway list --resource-group <ResourceGroup>

You should no longer see the deleted VPN gateway listed.

Following this process will help you safely delete your ExpressRoute gateway.
