<a name="res-disc-work-with-delete"></a>

This section describes how to delete a resource discovery.

**Note**  
You cannot delete a default resource discovery. A default resource discovery is one that is created automatically when you create an IPAM. The default resource discovery is deleted, however, if you delete the IPAM.

This step must be completed by the **Secondary Org Admin Account**. For more information about the roles involved in this process, see [Process overview](enable-integ-ipam-outside-org-process.md).
