To use this function most effectively, you should first run the dumpzone function for the domain(s) whose record(s) you wish to remove. The output of that function call will be used as a reference to create the input for this function.

In the output of the dumpzone function, locate the Line variable corresponding to the data you wish to remove.
Use the domain name and line number to formulate the removezonerecord function call as detailed below.

Warning: Incorrect use of this function could prevent your domain from resolving properly. Please exercise caution when removing DNS zone records.
