Under Select a page, click Transaction Log Shipping.
Clear the Enable this as a primary database in a log shipping configuration check box.
Click OK to remove log shipping from this primary database.

On the log shipping primary server, execute sp_delete_log_shipping_primary_secondary to delete the information about the secondary database from the primary server.
On the log shipping secondary server, execute sp_delete_log_shipping_secondary_database to delete the secondary database.

On the log shipping primary server, execute sp_delete_log_shipping_primary_database to delete information about the log shipping configuration from the primary server. This also deletes the backup job.
