How to delete a site in SharePoint using the new SharePoint admin center

SharePoint is a powerful collaboration platform that can be used to create and manage websites. If you're a SharePoint administrator, you may need to delete sites that are no longer in use. This blog post will show you how to delete a site in SharePoint using the new SharePoint admin center.

To delete a site in SharePoint using the new SharePoint admin center, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Active sites page in the SharePoint admin center.
2. Sign in with an account that has admin permissions for your organization.
3. In the left column, select the site you want to delete.
4. Click Delete.
5. In the confirmation dialog box, click Delete.

SharePoint will delete the site and all of its contents. This includes:

• Document libraries and files
• Lists and list data
• Site settings and history
• Any subsites and their contents

It's important to note that you cannot delete the root site for your organization. The root site is the top-level site in your SharePoint tenant. If you delete the root site, all of your SharePoint sites will be inaccessible until you restore the site or create a new root site.

Here are some tips for deleting a site in SharePoint using the new SharePoint admin center:

• Make sure that you have deleted all of the content in the site before you delete the site itself.
• If the site contains any sensitive data, be sure to delete the data before you delete the site.
• If the site is a subsite, be sure to delete the parent site before you delete the subsite.
• If you are deleting a site that is used by a team, be sure to notify the team members before you delete the site.
