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.

1. On your computer, open Google Chat or Gmail.
   • In Gmail: On the left, click Chat.
2. Open the space that you want to delete.
3. At the top, click the space name Delete.
4. To confirm, click Delete.

Tip: If you didn’t create the space, learn how to leave a space.
