Things to consider¶

Important

Deleting a website is permanent and can’t be undone.
Deleting a production website also deletes the database for all non-production websites associated with the production website.

Deleting your website doesn’t delete your account or your website’s user accounts.
If you want to save a copy of the website for later use, back up the website and download the backup before you delete it.
If you delete a website, you can’t reuse its name for a website in the same Site Factory subscription.
Deleting a website deletes all scheduled jobs associated with that website.

To permanently delete your website from Site Factory, complete the following steps:

Sign in to the Site Factory Management Console, find the website that you want to delete, and then open its actions menu.
Click Delete site.
To confirm that you want to delete the website, click Delete site. Site Factory sends you an email to continue the site deletion process.
Review the email regarding the website deletion, and follow its instructions to permanently delete your website.

Site Factory will then remove your website. Visitors who try to visit the website will receive a page not found error message.
