# Upgrade or Delete Managed Flex Gateway

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

You can upgrade or delete a Managed Flex Gateway using Anypoint Runtime Manager.

Managed Flex Gateways are regularly auto-upgraded, depending on your Gateway release channel (LTS or
Edge). See [Flex Gateway Version Lifecycle](https://docs.mulesoft.com/gateway/1.9/flex-gateway-version-lifecycle) for more information.

You can upgrade a Managed Flex Gateway earlier than the regularly scheduled upgrade or patching
process, between the new release date and the auto-upgrade date. You can choose the time that better
suits the needs of your organization.

## Early Upgrade Managed Flex Gateway (Optional)

1.  From Anypoint Platform, select **Runtime Manager**.

2.  Select **Flex Gateways** in the navigation menu.

3.  Select the **Managed Flex Gateway** tab.

4.  Click the name of the gateway to upgrade.

5.  Click **Settings** in the navigation menu.

6.  If a newer version is available, the **Version** field shows an **Update available** tag.

7.  Click the padlock symbol next to the version and **Update available** tag.

8.  Click the **Apply Changes** button.  
    A status message (**Your gateway is being updated**) appears while the upgrade is being applied.
    A success message (**Your gateway has been successfully updated**) appears when the upgrade is
    complete.

9.  Click **Dashboard** in the navigation menu to view your gateway status.

## Delete Managed Flex Gateway

You can delete a Managed Flex Gateway using Anypoint Runtime Manager.

### Before You Begin

If there are any APIs associated with the gateway you want to delete, you must either move the APIs
to another gateway or delete the APIs. After any associated APIs are moved or deleted, follow these
steps to delete a gateway and confirm the deletion.

### Delete Gateway

2.  Select **Flex Gateways** in the navigation menu.

3.  Select the **Managed Flex Gateway** tab.

4.  Click the name of the gateway to delete.

5.  Ensure the action menu button says **Delete Gateway**. If it says **Stop Gateway**, click the
    down arrow part of this button, and select **Delete Gateway** to change the action.

6.  Click the action menu button **Delete Gateway**.

7.  Verify that you delete the correct gateway in the confirmation dialog.

8.  Click **Yes, Delete**.  
    A status message (**Your gateway is being deleted**) appears while the action is applied. A
    success message (**Your gateway has been successfully deleted**) appears when the action is
    complete.
