Delete a NodeBalancer

Deletes a NodeBalancer.

This is a destructive action and cannot be undone.

A NodeBalancer can't be deleted if it has a cannot_delete or a cannot_delete_with_subresources lock. Only account administrators can remove locks using the Delete a resource lock operation.

Deleting a NodeBalancer also deletes all associated configurations and nodes. However, the backend servers represented by these nodes are not changed or removed. When you delete a NodeBalancer, you lose access to the IP addresses assigned to it.
