Deleting a Network Interface

This section describes how to delete a network interface.

• A primary network interface is created together with an instance by default, and cannot be detached from the instance. If you want to delete a primary network interface, you need to delete its instance first, which will also delete the primary network interface.
• If you want to delete an extended network interface that is attached to an instance, detach the network interface from the instance first.
• Deleting a network interface will also delete its supplementary network interfaces.
• Deleting a network interface will also unbind its EIP. You can choose to release the EIP if needed.
• If a network interface has resources associated, deleting the interface will also delete any rules for associated resources that reference it.

  For example, if the next hop of a custom route in a VPC route table is a network interface, deleting the network interface will also delete the route.
