Removing default zone records

When we set up a new subscription service, we create a number of default zone records. These records cannot be modified or deleted manually. The only method of removing these default zone records is by disabling the specific service to which they are linked. Read through the articles below for instructions on how to remove some of your default zone records.

• Remove the default A (website) records
