Delete a Space

Deleting a space permanently removes the space and all of its contents. Only someone with space admin permissions can delete that space.

Deleting a space is permanent – it does not go to the trash and cannot be undone.

If you're unsure about deleting a space, create an XML export of the space as a backup before proceeding. You can then restore the space from the XML export file if you need to.

To delete a space:

Go to the space and choose Space Tools > Overview from the bottom of the sidebar.
Choose Delete Space.
Choose OK.

If your space is using the Documentation theme:

Choose Browse > Space Admin from the header
Note: The Space Admin option appears only if you have space admin permissions, or if you're part of the 'confluence-administrators' group.
Choose Delete Space in the space administration options.
Choose OK.
