# How do I fix the error "Record is managed by an App on this account, and cannot be deleted"?

When you try to delete a DNS record used by an App Platform app, the control panel returns the following error:

> Record is managed by an App on this account, and cannot be deleted

You cannot delete the record from the control panel’s **Domains** page while the app still uses it.

To fix this, in the control panel’s left menu click **App Platform** and select the app that is using the DNS record you’d like to delete. In the **Settings** tab, [remove the domain](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/app-platform/how-to/manage-domains/index.html.md#remove-a-custom-domain). App Platform removes the DNS record automatically once you destroy the app.
