'openstack zone delete' command does not remove zone information from designate's storage.

[sonu]

when we use 'openstack zone delete' command with specified zone id. The zone is not deleted from storage after successful deletion.

Designate "soft deletes" zones when they are deleted via API.

The zone is "deleted" in that it won't get pushed to nameservers and it can not be updated, and a new zone with that name can be created.

There is a periodic zone manager task to clean up deleted zones:
https://github.com/openstack/designate/blob/master/designate/zone_manager/tasks.py#L93

However, if you mean that the zone was still available via API and Nameserver, without an error status. This is a problem.
