Deleting communities that you own

If a community no longer has a purpose or is inactive, you might want to consider deleting it.

Before you begin

You must be a community owner to be able to delete a community. When you delete a community, all data associated with the community is permanently deleted. Ensure that the community is not being actively used by any of the members before you delete it.

In addition, check if any applications are associated with the community. Community blogs, files, activities, and wikis are automatically deleted when you delete the associated community. When you delete a community, any subcommunities that are part of the community are also deleted.
Note: If you delete a community that is associated with an IBM® Lotus® Quickr® place, open the Lotus Quickr application and delete the place directly from the application.

Procedure
