## Deleting a connection associated with routes

Edge Routers are linked to specific Network Mappings (routes). If you attempt to delete an Edge Router that is the sole link for a Network Mapping, you will receive an alert informing that this action creates an orphaned Network Mapping, which can harm your connections.

If you are certain of this action, click **Delete** to proceed. This will help you to prevent unintentional network disruptions.
