# Delete a custom routing accelerator in Global Accelerator If you created a custom routing accelerator as a test, or if you're no longer using an accelerator, you can delete it. On the console, disable the accelerator, and then you can delete it. You don't have to remove listeners and endpoint groups from the accelerator. To delete a custom routing accelerator by using an API operation instead of the console, you must first remove all listeners and endpoint groups that are associated with the accelerator, and then disable it. For more information, see the [DeleteAccelerator](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/global-accelerator/latest/api/API_DeleteAccelerator.html) operation in the *AWS Global Accelerator API Reference*. **Warning** When you delete an accelerator, you lose the static IP addresses that are assigned to the accelerator, so that you can no longer route traffic by using them. The static IP addresses cannot be restored. # To disable a custom routing accelerator 1.
