# Delete a Cloud Firewall

1. Log into your [Cloud Manager](https://cloud.linode.com/) and select **Firewalls** from the navigation menu. This takes you to the **Firewalls** listing page.

2. Click on the more options menu (**...**),  button next to the corresponding firewall you would like to delete, and select **Delete**. You are prompted to confirm deletion of the firewall. Click **Delete** to proceed.

When the firewall is deleted, any Linode, Linode interface, or NodeBalancer assigned to it will no longer have its network traffic filtered by that firewall.
