# Deleting an OVS Bridge Domain Virtual Switch

## About this task

Deleting an OVS Bridge Domain virtual switch removes the OVS bridge from all hosts in the cluster, removes the associated libvirt network definitions, and removes all dependent Standard and Overlay network objects from the HPE Morpheus database.

NOTE

The system prevents deletion of virtual switches if any VMs are currently attached to networks that depend on this virtual switch. Ensure that all such networks and VMs are removed or migrated before deleting the virtual switch.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to Infrastructure > Network > Routers.
2. Select the OVS Bridge Domain virtual switch to delete.
3. Click the delete icon next to the virtual switch name.
4. Confirm the deletion when prompted.

## Results

The system removes the parent libvirt bridge network (the OVS bridge definition) from all hosts in the cluster. It deletes all dependent Standard and Overlay network objects that reference the virtual switch from the HPE Morpheus database. It also removes the port groups within the bridge when it deletes the bridge network from each host.
