-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.
+1. On the Azure portal menu, navigate to the ExpressRoute circuit you wish to deprovision.
 
-> [!NOTE]
->* You must unlink *all virtual networks* from the ExpressRoute circuit before deprovisioning. If this operation fails, check whether any virtual networks are linked to the circuit.
->* If the service provider has deprovisioned the circuit (the service provider provisioning state is set to **Not provisioned**), you can delete the circuit. This stops billing for the circuit.
+1. In the **Overview** page, select **Delete**. If there are any associated resources attached to the circuit, you're asked to view the resources. Select **Yes** to see the associations that need to be removed before starting the deprovisioning process. If there are no associated resources, you can proceed with step 4.
