Delete a space

When you no longer want to use a space, you can delete it. When a space is deleted, you can’t recover it.

Important:

• You can only delete a space if you have the space manager role.
• When you delete a space, all messages and tasks in the space are deleted. Permissions on Drive files are removed, but the file isn’t deleted.
• If you're the last space manager and want to leave, you must make someone else the space manager or delete the space.

3. Open the space that you want to delete.
4. At the top, tap the name of the space.
