```
To display the list of domains, run the list-domains subcommand of the asadmin utility command.
```
asadmin list-domains
```
Ensure that the status of the domain that was stopped in step 1 is not running. When this command is run, the result is displayed as follows:

Important note

If another process (such as Windows Explorer) is using a file or directory below the domain directory of the domain to be deleted, deletion of the domain might fail. Before deleting the domain, confirm that other running programs are not using any files or directories below the domain directory.
When this command is run, the result is displayed as follows:
```
