Good day all,

we have some interface & zone that are not in use.

What is the best method to delete these & also checking on if it affects anything else.

You can see what references there are to any given interface/zone in the GUI at Network -> Interfaces. You may have to add the Ref column.

Additionally, you can check on CLI where it is used, say interface name "port1":

# show | grep por1 -f

I suggest to just disable any unused physical interfaces rather then deleting them. You never know what may happen during the firmware upgrade process when expect interfaces are not found.
