I created a new droplet and checked the ‘private network’ box, not really knowing what it is for. I don’t need it on my droplet - how can I turn it off?

Yes, there is no such option to disable private networking through cloud panel once it has been enabled. However, as @ericjswang mentioned, you can create a snapshot and create a new droplet out of that snapshot without enabling private networking during droplet creation. However, you will need to remember while enabling private networking at later stage, that there will be existing interface configuration details of previous droplet from which the snapshot was taken. So you can just update the new private IP if you are enabling private IP in future.
- Droplet in TOR, there is no way to disable private networking in the dashboard.
- I’ve removed it from the droplet out of the network-scripts
- I’ve opened a ticket with support and nearly 24 hours no answer/fix
- This has broken my load-balancer setup
