+## Kongclearup
+
+Please note that a special executable has been provided for deleting Kong routes and services that have been created ServiceManager in Kong. This executable is called `kongclearup` and is found in the working directory of the ServiceManger Docker image, at `/app/kongclearup`. When we create a Kong route or service, we add Kong tags with information as follows.
+ * apfId
+ * aefId
+ * apiId
+ * apiVersion
+ * resourceName
+
+When we delete Kong routes and services using `kongclearup`, we check for the existance of these tags, specifically, apfId, apiId and aefId. Only if these tags exist and have values do we proceed to delete the Kong service or route.
+
+The executable `kongclearup` uses the volume-mounted .env file to load the configuration giving the location of Kong.
+
+Please refer to `sme/servicemanager/internal/kongclearup.go`.
