Removing a Traffic Manager

To remove an individual Traffic Manager instance from your cluster, use the APIs for virtual machine scale sets. You cannot remove an instance through the Azure management portal.

To remove an entire cluster, delete the resource group associated with it. All resources, including any Traffic Managers connected to the resource group, are permanently removed.

1.Login to the Azure management portal.

2.Select Resource Groups from the navigation bar.

3.Scroll to the right of the blade and click the three dots that correspond to your Resource Group, then click Delete from the pop-up menu. Alternatively, click the name of your Resource Group and then click the Delete option at the top of the Resource Group Settings blade.

4.In the “Are you sure you want to delete <Resource Group>” blade, type the name of your Resource Group into the text box provided.

5.Click Delete to confirm the action.

The Traffic Manager cluster is shut down and is permanently destroyed. You lose all configuration and data associated with each instance in the cluster.
