:::info Currently, you can only delete your community using Status desktop. :::
Status uses a peer-to-peer network that temporarily stores data of your community. Because of this decentralized architecture, there is no one-click way to delete a community and all associated data.
What to expect
- For a community to disappear, you must remove everyone from the community, including yourself, and make sure no activity happens for 30 days.
- Community data recorded on the blockchain continues to exist. For example, if you minted tokens for your community, the transaction is on-chain and persists in the blockchain.
:::info Your messages are not in the blockchain and are not transported through the Ethereum network. Messages are temporarily stored in the peer-to-peer network. :::
Delete your Status Community
You must complete the following tasks:
- Set up manual approval for the community.
- Kick out all members from the community.
- Leave your community.
- Delete or destroy the community's private key if it's stored anywhere.
- Wait 30 days.
After 30 days, the Waku peer-to-peer network stops caching your community data, and the community is deleted irrecoverably.
