How to delete modern sharepoint site
Hi,
I created a new sharepoint site, the new modern variety, and there is no 'site settings' in the cog on these ones of course, so how can I delete the site altogether? I've deleted the group part of it already, just want to know how to delete the site.
thanks.
Hi,
Append "_layouts/15/deleteweb.aspx" to the URL. So the complete URL will be "https://yoursitecollection/sites/yourmodernsite/_layouts/15/deleteweb.aspx".
Once the page opens, you will get the option to delete the Modern Site.
Regards,
Rizwan
- THANK YOU for this answer - the most direct route.
This is true, but you have a Site information link and in the site information panel you will see a link View all site settings that will provide you the access to the Site Settings page...but you will see there you don't have a "Delete site" option and I think this is just because you have created also a Group behind the scenes...so if you delete the Group, the site should be deleted too.
- So just confirmed: you need to delete the Group so the site will be deleted too
When deleting a group one gets a message the all of the groups conversations, files, notebooks and events will be permanently deleted.
Is there undelete or recover option if a group is deleted by mistake?
