# Delete a Cross Connect

If you no longer need a Cross Connect, you can easily remove it via the **Manage Cross Connects** window, provided it is disconnected from all LANs in the connected data centers.

To delete a Cross Connect, follow these steps:

1\. In the **DCD**, go to **Menu** > **Network Services** > **Cross Connect**.

2\. Select the required **Cross Connect** in the **Manage Cross Connects** window.

3\. Ensure that you first disssociate the following from the Cross Connect:

* any LANs associated with it. You will find the list of LANs in the **Connected LANs** tab.
* any VDCs linked with it. The **Connectable Data Centers** lists the VDCs.

4\. Click **Delete** to proceed with deletion.

5\. Click **OK** in the **Delete Cross Connect** dialog to confirm your action.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

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

```
GET https://docs.ionos.com/cloud/network-services/cross-connect/how-tos/delete-cross-connect.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.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
