Adding domain issues "Check DNS configuration"

Hi Guys,

I tried setting up a domain and most of the time I get “Check DNS Configuration” error. One workaround I found is deleting entire DNS Zone and adding it back.
But this causes some downtime and this is not something I can do everytime.

Netlify URL: https://keen-varahamihira-04a4b8.netlify.app/
Issue Domain: https://opc.devsv.in

This issue already happened to me on couple of sub domains already mostly with Domain Type: “NETLIFY” and “NETLIFYv6”. Also I cannot delete these sub domain since those are managed by Netlify. It will be better if we get manual option to edit “NETLIFY” and “NETLIFYv6” records.

Thanks @luke

So, I think it is better to delete the records for : https://opc.devsv.in now.
Shall I create a new post on with Admin tag and close this issue here.
Or is it possible to move this post to Admin tag directly [I am not sure how to change or add admin tag]
