I tried to remove vlan 2 and 3 i used the command no vlan 2 etc.. but they still showing

Have you tried deleting the vlan database with the command delete flash:vlan.dat? — David, Jun 10 '14 at 22:27
@user4946, removing the vlan.dat will not remove the SVI configuration. In the OP output, the VLANs are already removed, it is the SVIs that remain. — YLearn, Jun 11 '14 at 18:19
Did any answer help you? if so, you should accept the answer so that the question doesn't keep popping up forever, looking for an answer. Alternatively, you could post and accept your own answer. — Ron Maupin, Jan 03 '21 at 21:58

It appears you created both the VLANs and the SVI (virtual interfaces).

While the no vlan 2 would (and did according to your show vlan output) remove the VLAN, it won't remove the SVI (which show up when you show the interfaces with show ip interface brief).

To remove the SVI, you need to issue the no interface vlan 2 command as well.

Try no interface vlan 2 and no interface vlan 3 in global config mode.
