A transaction that deletes a smart contract from a Hedera network. Once a smart contract is marked deleted, you will not be able to modify any of the contract’s properties.

If a smart contract has an associated hbar balance, you will need to transfer the balance to another Hedera account. Transaction Signing Requirements
