## Discussion

Discussion warning: Deleting a record zone is a permanent action that deletes every record in that zone. You can’t restore a deleted record zone. This method throws an error if the request fails, such as when the network is unavailable or the device doesn’t have an active iCloud account; otherwise, the returned tuple includes any individual record zone errors. For information on a more configurable way to modify record zones, see CKModifyRecordZonesOperation.
