# Deleting an existing zone

There is only one use-case where deleting a zone is an option. The use-case is only when the zone is created to complete wrong location. 

Any other case where zone geometry is wrong or it becomes obsolete, the approach is to edit the existing zone, rather than deleting it.

### Deleting a zone

Zone can be deleted by accessing the Zones -menu within the web platform.
