# Delete DNS record

You can [delete a DNS record](#delete-record) or [delete an individual value from a record](#delete-value-from-record).

If a network is connected to a DNS zone and you delete an A or AAAA record that was added automatically, the record will be added again when the IP address or [port domain name](/cloud-servers/private-dns/manage-records/change-port-domain-name.mdx) in the network changes. Automatically added records are marked with the **Auto \*\*\*\* tag**.

You can check if a network is connected to a zone in the [control panel](https://my.selectel.ru/vpc/default/private-dns/): in the top menu, click **Products** → **Cloud Servers** → **Private DNS** → **DNS Resolvers** tab → find the **DNS zone** field in the network row.
