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 owner 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 owner and want to leave, you must make someone else the space owner or delete the space.
- On your computer, open Google Chat or Gmail.
- In Gmail: On the left, click Chat.
- Open the space that you want to delete.
- At the top, click the space name 👁 and then
Delete. - To confirm, click Delete.
Tip: If you didn’t create the space, learn how to leave a space.
