Deleting a Security Group

Scenarios

This section describes how to delete security groups.

Notes and Constraints

• The default security group is named default and cannot be deleted.
• A security group cannot be deleted if it is being used by instances, such as cloud servers, containers, and databases.

  If you need to delete such a security group, delete the instances or change the security group used by the instance first.

• A security group cannot be deleted if it is used as the source or destination of a rule in another security group.

  Delete or modify the rule and delete the security group again.

  For example, if the source of a rule in security group sg-B is set to sg-A, you need to delete or modify the rule in sg-B before deleting sg-A.
