How do you delete one of those new Team Sites?

I just made one as a test but now I can't get rid of it.

  • Outlook -> Go to the group -> Click on Edit Group in the ribbon -> Delete group button:

    I'm sorry MS but what a jumbled mess Sharepoint is. Impossible for someone new to Sharepoint to navigate. I also do not understand how a team site is removed.
    • HI Deleted, 

       

      This question should really have been asked in a new thread as it messes up the posts a bit. The deletion of a team is easy. Go to the Team in the Teams app and click on the ellipses next to the team that you want to delete and select the Delete the team option. You will only have this option if you have permissions to delete the team.

        I'm sure it's easy if you already know how to do it. I wouldn't have had to ask if it was easy for everyone, but thank you for the information
  • In OWA, if you prefer it, it's similar: go to the Group -> click on the gear in the upper right -> choose Edit Group -> Delete button is at the bottom of the panel.

      It sounds like the new Team Site has very little to do with SharePoint at all. Is that correct?

       

      When I created it I recognized it as looking to have been built on top of the new Groups functionality but, it's looking like it's not actually a SharePoint feature at all. But Microsoft is touting it as SharePoint.

  • Hi Chris,

     

    Simply go to your teams apps, select teams from the left menu - this will list all the teams you have. Use the three ... elipses menu and click delete team. That should do it for you.

     

    Let me know if this helps.

     

    Regards,

    Jasjit

      Hi Jasjit,

       

      I'm afraid I can't figure out what "teams apps" means. Where do I find that?

       

       

      Thanks!
