# Deleting an Addon Domain

In this article, you will learn how to remove add-on domains and how to correct possible conflicts due to established subdomains.

## Removing an Addon Domain

When you are removing add-on domains it important to remember that the cPanel automatically creates the folder where the website files are saved. If the folder is also a subdomain to the primary domain, then you may need to remove the subdomain *before* you can delete the addon domain.

1. [Login to the cPanel](/support/edu/cpanel/how-to-log-into-cpanel/)
2. Navigate to the **Domains **section and then click on the **Domains** icon beneath the heading.
3. Select **Manage** to the right of the domain.
4. Select **Remove Domain**.

### Add-on domain error: Domain already configured

On rare occasions, some domains will appear to be removed from add-on domains section, but the DNS settings remain. This will cause an error to appear if you try to re-add the domain that you think had already been deleted. If the domain was abc.com, then error message would look like this:

*abc.com is already configured*

If you see this error, please contact live technical support by phone/email/chat. Verify your account (with either the last 4 digits of the credit card or the Account Management Panel (AMP) password. Then explain that you have deleted the domain, but you’re still having problems with it -give the error. They can remove the DNS entries for you if you do not have [root access to the account](/support/server/ssh/root-access-faq/).

This completes the tutorial for removing Addon domains through the cPanel. Remember that removing a domain in the Domains section of the cPanel does not *delete* a domain name. To cancel a domain, go to [Cancelling a domain registration](/support/domain-names/cancel-domain-registration/) for further information.
