# DeleteNatGateway

## 1. API Description

This API (DeleteNatGateway) is used to delete a specified NAT gateway.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Notes**

* This is an asynchronous API. The request returns immediately after submission, but the operation is not yet complete. You can query the NAT gateway status by calling [`DescribeNatGateways`](/api-reference/compute/zec/nat-gateway/describenatgateways.md). When the NAT gateway status changes to `RECYCLED`, it has entered the recycle bin and will eventually be destroyed.
* After deletion, the instance may be retained for a period of time in `RECYCLED` state. You can restore it via the [`RenewNatGateway`](/api-reference/compute/zec/nat-gateway/renewnatgateway.md) API.
  {% endhint %}
