# Delete an IP Failover Group

Deleting an IP failover group removes your high availability setup from the DCD, disassociating the IP address mappings between your master and replica NICs. You can delete an entire failover group or remove individual NICs from it. Optionally, you can retain the IP address on the master NIC during deletion.

1\. In the **DCD**, go to **Menu** > **Virtual Data Centers**.

2\. Select the data center and the respective LAN to delete an IP failover group from it.

3\. In the Inspector pane, select the **IP Failover** tab.

4\. Select the IP address of the required failover group.

5\. The properties of the selected IP failover group are displayed.

6\. Select **Delete**. You can select **Do not remove the IP from the master** to retain the IP address.

Additionally, you can also delete a specific NIC from the IP failover group. Select the delete icon to remove the respectitve NIC and select **OK** to confirm deletion.
