Deleting a space permanently removes the space and all of its contents. You need to be the space administrator of a space to delete that space space.

Note: Deleting a space is permanent. Always create an XML backup of the space before proceeding. Once you have deleted the space, there is no way to restore it unless you have made an XML space backup.
