To delete a Discord server, you need to be the server’s owner, as only the owner has the permissions necessary to permanently remove a server.
Here are the steps for deleting a Discord server:
- Navigate to the Server: Open Discord on either your desktop or mobile app and select the server you want to delete.
- Access Server Settings: On the desktop app, click on the server name at the top of the server list and select “Server Settings” from the dropdown menu. On mobile, tap the three dots next to the server name and go to “Settings.”
- Find the Delete Option: In the settings menu, scroll to find the “Delete Server” option.
- Confirm Deletion: If you have Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) enabled, you will be prompted to enter the 2FA code. If you don’t have 2FA, you’ll be asked to type the server’s name to confirm that you want to delete it. Be sure you are absolutely certain because this action is irreversible.
- Final Confirmation: After confirming, click on “Delete Server.” Once deleted, all channels, messages, and other data associated with the server will be gone permanently.
If you’re not sure about deleting the server, you can also transfer ownership to another member instead of deleting it
