Delete Certificate

Delete a TLS certificate that has already been generated by the Certificate Authority (CA).

Deleting a certificate may also delete our system-defined CNAME record for it. If this occurs, the creation of a new certificate will generate a new system-defined CNAME record. You will need then need to define a CNAME record that points to this new system-defined CNAME record.

Use the Cancel Certificate Request endpoint to cancel a request for a TLS certificate that is still being processed by the CA.
