Delete an API Gateway

Deleting an API Gateway removes all the infrastructure of the cluster and the Route, Service, Upstream, Consumer, and Plugin configurations that belong to it. Delete only an API Gateway you are sure you no longer need, for example an API Gateway in the Error status that you want to create again.
