1. Open your Terraform configuration file for the existing Load Balancer.
2. Remove the vultr_load_balancer resource block, or destroy it by target.
   terraform

   resource "vultr_load_balancer" "lb" {
       region              = "ewr"
       label               = "vultr-load-balancer"
       balancing_algorithm = "roundrobin"
   
       forwarding_rules {
           frontend_protocol = "http"
           frontend_port     = 82
           backend_protocol  = "http"
           backend_port      = 81
       }
   
       health_check {
           path                = "/test"
           port                = 8080
           protocol            = "http"
           response_timeout    = 1
           unhealthy_threshold = 2 
           check_interval      = 3
           healthy_threshold   = 4
       }
   }
   
   # To delete, either remove this block from configuration
   # or run: terraform destroy -target vultr_load_balancer.lb
   

3. Apply the configuration and observe the following output:
