# How to Delete a Disaster Recovery Subscription

Deleting a Disaster Recovery subscription has an order: you can't remove it while it has an associated plan, so first you stop the replica, delete the plan, and then delete the subscription by confirming the deletion.

This guide walks through that sequence.

> #### ❗️ It is an irreversible action
>
> When you delete the plan, the platform removes the migrated volumes, deletes the replica, and reconfigures the subscription. 
>
> Once completed, the environment is no longer protected by Disaster Recovery and cannot be undone. Make sure you no longer need this replica before you begin.

### Before you begin

* Access the admin panel at [admin.plenit.com](https://admin.plenit.com) with permissions on the environment.
* Have the **Disaster Recovery** subscription you want to delete active.

### Step 1. Try deleting it and go into the plans

In [admin.plenit.com](https://admin.plenit.com), go to **Cloud Services → Disaster Recovery**. You can start in two ways: open the **(…)** menu of the subscription and click **Delete**, or enter the subscription to review the plans first.

If the subscription still has an associated plan, the platform warns that it cannot be deleted. Click **View Plans** to continue.

### Step 2. Stop the plan's replica

In the **My Plans**, go to the **Replica**, open its menu and click **Stop**. The replica must be stopped before the plan can be deleted.

### Step 3. Delete the plan

With the replica stopped, open the **(…)** plan's menu and click **Delete**. The platform shows the deletion progress, which includes removing the migrated volumes, deleting the replica, and reconfiguring the subscription.

> If you don't see the result of the process, refresh the page.

### Step 4. Delete the subscription and confirm

When the plan no longer exists, return to the service card, open its menu **(…)** and click **Delete** again. In the confirmation window, type the word you are asked for and click **Confirm**.

You will see a message confirming that the resource has been deleted, which also appears in notifications.

With that, the Disaster Recovery subscription is deleted.

### Conclusion

Deleting a Disaster Recovery subscription is a chained process designed so that you don't delete anything by mistake: first you stop the replica, then you delete the plan (which removes the migrated volumes and the replica), and only then do you delete the subscription by confirming with a word.

The only thing to be clear about is that it is irreversible and leaves the environment without DR protection, so it's best to be sure before you start.

### Next steps

* If what you're looking for is to change the policy instead of deleting, go to [How to configure the frequency and number of copies.](/docs-en/productos/disaster-recovery/how-to/how-to-configure-replica-frequency-and-copies.md)
* To protect the environment again later, enable it with the [Disaster Recovery Quick Start.](/docs-en/productos/disaster-recovery/quickstart.md)
* Review what it replicates and how the service works in [Disaster Recovery Concepts.](/docs-en/productos/disaster-recovery/concepts.md)

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.plenit.com/docs-en/productos/disaster-recovery/how-to/how-to-delete-a-disaster-recovery-subscription.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
