# Delete Lightsail load balancers
Delete load balancers

You can delete a Lightsail load balancer if you no longer need it. Deleting a load balancer also detaches any Lightsail instances attached to it but doesn't delete the Lightsail instances. If you enabled encrypted (HTTPS) traffic using an SSL/TLS certificate, deleting the load balancer will also permanently delete any SSL/TLS certificates associated with the load balancer.

**Important**  
Deleting a Lightsail load balancer and its associated certificate is final and can't be undone.
