If you decide that you no longer want or need a tenant then you may wish to delete it.
To delete a tenant, follow these steps:
- Go to Quick-access menu > Tenants.
- Click the cross icon (
) next to the tenant you wish to delete.
When deleting a tenant you will be able to choose between suspending, deleting or keeping tenant members' user accounts which no longer have a tenant. The latter option should be used with caution, as users who are not members of a tenant are classed as system users, meaning they are not restricted to tenant boundaries. Tenant participant accounts will not be affected when a tenant is deleted. The tenant content will be hidden from users, but will still be visible for Site Administrators.
