Hi,

There are a number of ways in you can do this. The following document sums them up:

I was able to fix it up just by replacing the range with the right one (for example: global config# ip nat pool XXXXX (new ip range) (new ip range) netmask (your netmask). this was on a 1841 router with version 12.3, the other solutions suggested did not work for me, even pasting the script. And cancelling the translastions on all interfaces seemed like a lot work. Hope this helps.  (edited a typo)

Hello

Clear ip nat translations forced should then allow you to delete the pool, Or you could just disable nat in the interfaces then delete the pool?
