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.
