Deleting routers in the CLI

To delete a router, use the openstack router delete command and specify the name or ID of the router:

openstack router delete <router> [<router> ...] 

Multiple routers can also be deleted simultaneously, as follows:

openstack router delete <router1> <router2> 

Neutron will successfully delete the routers as long as all connected ports or subnets have been removed and all floating IPs have been disassociated or deleted.
