Delete a space grouped by conversation topic

Important: You can no longer create a space grouped by conversation topic. Instead, new spaces have in-line threading. Learn more about when to use and organise a space.

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.
  • Once a space is deleted, you can't recover it.
  1. Go to Google Chat or your Gmail account.
  2. Open the space that you want to delete.
  3. At the top, next to the space name, click the down arrow Drop-down arrow and then Delete this space  and then Delete.
Tip: If you didn’t create the space, learn how to leave a space.
