  3. Click Delete VPC 2.0 Network.
  4. Click Delete VPC 2.0 Network in the confirmation prompt to destroy the VPC network.

  1. Send a GET request to the List VPC 2.0 networks endpoint and note the target VPC 2.0 network's ID in your output.

    console

   -X GET \

    terraform 
    resource "vultr_vpc2" "net" {
    region      = "ewr"

}

# To delete, either remove this block from configuration
# or run: terraform destroy -target vultr_vpc2.net
