I am trying to delete vpn tunnel I created for testing purpose. But I do not see the option to delete.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

In GUI on right hand side of tunnel you should see a number showing how many references to the tunnel or associated objects there are. Clicking the number should list out the references, which you'll need to remove before you can delete the tunnel.

I understood that I need to delete those references. But how? I went to edit the tunnel page and tried to delete those settings but they won't go away. :(

You need to delete the *other* objects that are making the references. For example, the security policies and static routes that refer to the vpn.

Hi,

When the FortiGate is in the state, where there is a tunnel interface configured, but the VPN itself is already deleted, the tunnel interface cannot be deleted directly.
For this you have to create an IPsec interface and then delete this VPN.

Please do follow the below articles for the same:
