If the zone status is “installed/incomplete”, please use the below command:
zoneadm -z myzone1 uninstall –F
zonecfg -z myzone1 delete

If the zone status is “configured”, please use the below command:
zonecfg -z myzone2 delete

I had to halt the zone prior to removing it. I also had to use the -F option.

to Delete the Zone.Above mentioned command won’t work.
First you need to enter the configuration mode using following command.

zonecfg -z testzone “Enter”
zonecfg:testzone>delete “Ctl+D” ( to save the changes )
# zoneadm list -vc ( to check the testzone is removed permanently )

zoneadm will confirm if you realy want to uninstall, use .F option to force it :)
