If you do not have Terraform yet, install it and configure the Nebius Israel provider.

For more information about Terraform, see the documentation.

Open the Terraform configuration file and delete the fragment with the certificate description:

Sample certificate description

...
resource "yandex_cm_certificate" "le-certificate" {
  name        = "managed-certificate-for-dns"
  description = "this is a certificate for tls"
  domains     = ["my-domain.ru"]

  managed {
  challenge_type = "DNS_CNAME"
  }
}
...

Apply the changes:
1. In the terminal, change to the folder where you edited the configuration file.
2. Make sure the configuration file is correct using the command:
```
terraform validate
```
  If the configuration is correct, the following message is returned:
```
Success! The configuration is valid.
```
3. Run the command:
```
terraform plan
```
  The terminal will display a list of resources with parameters. No changes are made at this step. If the configuration contains errors, Terraform will point them out.
4. Apply the configuration changes:
```
terraform apply
```
5. Confirm the changes: type yes in the terminal and press Enter.

You can check if the certificate has been deleted either from the management console or using this CLI command:

yc certificate-manager certificate list

To delete a certificate, use the delete REST API method for the Certificate resource or the CertificateService/Delete gRPC API call.
