 ## <a name="delete"></a>Deprovisioning an ExpressRoute circuit
 
-Deprovisioning an ExpressRoute circuit requires a specific sequence of steps.
-
-* Before you initiate a deprovisioning request with the service provider, you need to dissociate all Virtual Networks. You also need to remove any authorizations and, if it's being used, disable Global Reach. 
-* After you've deleted all resources associated with the circuit, ask your Service Provider or Internet Service Provider (ISP) to start the removal process.
-* Finally, before you delete the ExpressRoute circuit, make sure the *Provider Status* has been updated to **Not Provisioned** in the Circuit overview page.

-> [!NOTE]
-> If the ExpressRoute circuit service provider provisioning state is **Provisioning** or **Provisioned** you must work with your service provider to deprovision the circuit on their side. We continue to reserve resources and bill you until the service provider completes deprovisioning the circuit and notifies us.

+>* You must delete all associated [Virtual Network connections](expressroute-howto-linkvnet-portal-resource-manager.md#clean-up-resources), [Authorizations](expressroute-howto-linkvnet-portal-resource-manager.md#circuit-owner-operations), and [Global Reach](expressroute-howto-set-global-reach-portal.md#disable-connectivity) from the ExpressRoute circuit before deprovisioning. If this operation fails, check whether any virtual networks are linked to the circuit.
+>* If the circuit service provider has deprovisioned the circuit (the circuit service provider provisioning state is set to **Not provisioned**), you can delete the circuit. This stops billing for the circuit.
