Hi All,

Can i delete a database which is configured for always on without removing the database from Always on availability group?

In my environment i have few databases which are configured for Always ON and all the databases belong to the same availability group. So if I remove all the databases from availability group then there is no need to retain the availability group. what are the steps that I should follow to remove the availability group from both primary and secondary replicas?

Thanks in Advance,

Kranthi
